1 Kings 18:15-19

15Then ElijahH452 saidH559, “1As surely as the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 livesH2416, beforeH6440 whomH834 I standH5975, I will certainlyH3588 presentH7200 myself to him todayH3117.” 16So ObadiahH5662 wentH1980 to meetH7122 AhabH256 and informedH5046 him; then AhabH256 wentH1980 to meetH7122 ElijahH452.

17When AhabH256 sawH7200 ElijahH452, 2AhabH256 saidH559 to him, “Is thisH2088 you, the causeH5916 ofH5916 disasterH5916 to IsraelH3478?” 18He saidH559, “I have not broughtH5916 disasterH5916 toH5916 IsraelH3478, but you and your father’sH1 houseH1004 have, because 3you have abandonedH5800 the commandmentsH4687 of the LordH3068 and 4you have followedH1980H310 the BaalsH1168. 19NowH6258 then, sendH7971 orders and gatherH6908 to me allH3605 IsraelH3478 at 5MountH2022 CarmelH3760, 6together with 450H702H3967H2572 prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168 and fourH702 hundredH3967 prophetsH5030 of 78the AsherahH842, who eatH398 at Jezebel’sH348 tableH7979.”
