1 Kings 18:19-21

International Standard Version

¹⁹ So go gather all of Israel to meet me on Mount Carmel. Bring along 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of the Asherah who are funded at Jezebel’s expense.”^[a]

Elijah Defeats the Prophets of Baal

²⁰ Ahab sent for the Israelis and brought the prophets together at Mount Carmel, ²¹ where Elijah approached all the people and asked them, “How long will you keep hesitating^[b] between both sides? If the Lord is God, go after him. If Baal, go after him.”

But the people didn’t say a word.
