1 Kings 18:21 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Kings 18:21

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.

23 Therefore let them give us two bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves, cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, but put no fire under it; and I will prepare the other bull, and lay it on the wood, but put no fire under it.

24 Then you call on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord; and the God who ^aanswers by fire, He is God.” So all the people answered and said,¹ “It is well spoken.”

25 Now Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose one bull for yourselves and prepare it first, for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it.”
