1 Kings 18:18-21

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁸ He replied, “I have not destroyed Israel, but you and your father’s house have, because you have abandoned the Lord’s commands^(A) and followed the Baals.^{(B) 19} Now summon all Israel to meet me at Mount Carmel,^(C) along with the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of Asherah^(D) who eat at Jezebel’s table.”

Elijah at Mount Carmel

²⁰ So Ahab summoned all the Israelites and gathered the prophets at Mount Carmel. ²¹ Then Elijah approached all the people and said, “How long will you hesitate between two opinions?^(E) If Yahweh is God, follow Him. But if Baal, follow him.”^(F) But the people didn’t answer him a word.
