1 Kings 18:22-25

22Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of Yhwh; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men.

23Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:

24And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of Yhwh: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.1

25And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.
