²² Then Elijah said to them, “I am the only one of the Lord’s prophets left,^(A) but Baal has four hundred and fifty prophets.^{(B) 23} Get two bulls for us. Let Baal’s prophets choose one for themselves, and let them cut it into pieces and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. I will prepare the other bull and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. ²⁴ Then you call^(C) on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the Lord.^(D) The god who answers by fire^(E)—he is God.”

Then all the people said, “What you say is good.”
