1 Kings 18:18-21
18He saidH559, “I have not broughtH5916 disasterH5916 toH5916 IsraelH3478, but you and your father’sH1 houseH1004 have, because 1you have abandonedH5800 the commandmentsH4687 of the LordH3068 and 2you have followedH1980H310 the BaalsH1168. 19NowH6258 then, sendH7971 orders and gatherH6908 to me allH3605 IsraelH3478 at 3MountH2022 CarmelH3760, 4together with 450H702H3967H2572 prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168 and fourH702 hundredH3967 prophetsH5030 of 56the AsherahH842, who eatH398 at Jezebel’sH348 tableH7979.”
20So AhabH256 sentH7971 orders among allH3605 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 and broughtH6908 the prophetsH5030 togetherH6908 at MountH2022 CarmelH3760. 21Then ElijahH452 approachedH5066 allH3605 the peopleH5971 and saidH559, “7HowH4970 longH5704H4970 are you going to 8struggleH6452 with the twoH8147 choicesH5589? 9IfH518 the LordH3068 is GodH430, followH1980H310 Him; but ifH518 BaalH1168, followH1980H310 him.” But the peopleH5971 did not answerH6030 him so much as a wordH1697.
