1 Kings 18:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ When he saw Elijah, he said to him, “Is that you? You are always stirring up trouble in Israel.”

¹⁸ “I haven’t made trouble for Israel,” Elijah replied. “But you and your father’s family have. You have turned away from the Lord’s commands. You have followed gods that are named Baal. ¹⁹ Now send for people from all over Israel. Tell them to meet me on Mount Carmel. And bring the 450 prophets of the god named Baal. Also bring the 400 prophets of the female god named Asherah. All of them eat at Jezebel’s table.”
