1 Kings 18:19-21
The Voice
19 Now I want you to gather the entire community of Israel and send them to Mount Carmel to meet with me. I have a message for them. Be sure to gather the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of the goddess Asherah—the ones who fill their mouths and stomachs with food from Jezebel’s table.
20 Ahab did as Elijah asked, sent word throughout the entire community of Israel, and gathered all the prophets atop Mount Carmel.
Elijah (approaching the people): 21 How much longer will you sit on the fence, refusing to make a decision between the Lord and Baal? If you believe the Eternal One is the True God, then devote yourselves entirely to Him. If you believe Baal is your master, then devote yourselves entirely to him.
All the people who were gathered together atop Mount Carmel were completely silent. They didn’t know what to say to this.

New International Version
19 Now summon(A) the people from all over Israel to meet me on Mount Carmel.(B) And bring the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at Jezebel’s table.”(C)
20 So Ahab sent word throughout all Israel and assembled the prophets on Mount Carmel.(D) 21 Elijah went before the people and said, “How long will you waver(E) between two opinions? If the Lord(F) is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.”
But the people said nothing.
