18 And he answered, “I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father’s house have, ain that you have forsaken the commandments of the Lord and have followed the Baals.
19 Now therefore, send and gather all Israel to me on aMount Carmel, the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal, band the four hundred prophets of1 Asherah, who eat at Jezebel’s table.”
Elijah’s Mount Carmel Victory
20 So Ahab sent for all the children of Israel, and agathered the prophets together on Mount Carmel.
21 And Elijah came to all the people, and said, a“How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, bfollow him.” But the people answered him not a word.
22 Then Elijah said to the people, a“I alone am left a prophet of the Lord; bbut Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
