11:018:014 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is
           here:  and he shall slay me.

11:018:015 And Elijah said, As the lord of hosts liveth, before whom I
           stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to day.

11:018:016 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him:  and Ahab went to
           meet Elijah.

11:018:017 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto
           him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?

11:018:018 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.

11:018:019 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount
           Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and
           the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at
           Jezebel’s table.

11:018:020 So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the
           prophets together unto mount Carmel.

11:018:021 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt
           ye between two opinions? if the lord be God, follow him:  but
           if Baal, then follow him.  And the people answered him not a
           word.

11:018:022 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a
           prophet of the lord; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and
           fifty men.

11:018:023 Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose
           one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it
           on wood, and put no fire under:  and I will dress the other
           bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: 

11:018:024 And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the
           name of the lord:  and the God that answereth by fire, let him
           be God.  And all the people answered and said, It is well
           spoken.

11:018:025 And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one
           bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many;
           and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.

11:018:026 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they
           dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even
           until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us.  But there was no voice,
           nor any that answered.  And they leaped upon the altar which
           was made.

11:018:027 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and
           said, Cry aloud:  for he is a god; either he is talking, or he
           is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he
           sleepeth, and must be awaked.
