Elijah’s Mount Carmel Victory

²⁰ So Ahab sent for all the children of Israel, and ^(A)gathered the prophets together on Mount Carmel. ²¹ And Elijah came to all the people, and said, ^(B)“How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, ^(C)follow him.” But the people answered him not a word. ²² Then Elijah said to the people, ^(D)“I alone am left a prophet of the Lord; ^(E)but 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 ^(F)answers by fire, He is God.”

So all the people answered and said, ^[a]“It is well spoken.”
