16. So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him. And Ahab went to meet Elijah.
17. When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, “Are you he that troubles Israel?”
18. And he answered, “I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father’s house, in that you have forsaken the commandments of the Lord and you have followed the Baals.
19. Now send word out and gather for me all Israel on Mount Carmel, along with the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah who eat at Jezebel’s table.”
20. So Ahab called out all the children of Israel and gathered the prophets together on Mount Carmel.
21. Elijah came to all the people and said, “How long will you stay between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him, but if Baal, then follow him.”And the people did not say a word.
