1 Kings 18:22-25

22Then ElijahH452 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, “I 1aloneH905 am leftH3498 as a prophetH5030 of the LordH3068, while Baal’sH1168 prophetsH5030 are 2450H702H3967H2572 menH376. 23Now have them giveH5414 us twoH8147 oxenH6499; and have them chooseH977 the oneH259 oxH6499 for themselves and cutH5408 it upH5408, and placeH7760 it on the woodH6086, but putH7760 noH3808 fireH784 under it; and I will prepareH6213 the otherH259 oxH6499 and layH5414 it on the woodH6086, and I will not putH7760 a fireH784 under it. 24Then you callH7121 on the nameH8034 of your godH430, and I will callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LordH3068; and 3the GodH430 whoH834 answersH6030 by fireH784, He is GodH430.” And allH3605 the peopleH5971 repliedH6030H559, “4That is a goodH2896 ideaH1697.”

25So ElijahH452 saidH559 to the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168, “ChooseH977 the oneH259 oxH6499 for yourselves and prepareH6213 it firstH7223, sinceH3588 there are manyH7227 of you, and callH7121 on the nameH8034 of your godH430, but putH7760 noH3808 fireH784 under the ox.”
