14. And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he will slay me.
15. And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself to him to-day.
16. So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
17. And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
18. And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.
19. Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel to mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, who eat at Jezebel's table.
20. So Ahab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets to mount Carmel.
21. And Elijah came to all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD is God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
