New Testament

1 Kings 18:13-19 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

13. Has it not been told to my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of Yahweh? I hid a hundred men of the prophets of Yahweh by fifties in the cave, and I sustained them with food and water.

14. Now you are saying, ‘Go, say to your lord: “Elijah is here,” ’ and he will kill me.”

15. Elijah said, “As Yahweh of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will certainly show myself to him today.”

16. So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and he told him, so Ahab went to meet Elijah.

17. When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, “Is this you who throws Israel into confusion?”

18. He said, “I did not throw Israel into confusion; rather you and the house of your father have by forsaking the commands of Yahweh when you went after the Baals!

19. So then, send word and assemble all of Israel to me on Mount Carmel, with the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at the table of Jezebel.”
