H7971 [H8798]
Now therefore send,
H6908 [H8798]
and gather
H3478
to me all Israel
H2022
to mount
H3760
Carmel,
H5030
and the prophets
H1168
of Baal
H702
four
H3967
hundred
H2572
and fifty,
H5030
and the prophets
H842
of the groves
H702
four
H3967
hundred,
H398 [H8802]
who eat
H348
at Jezebel's
H7979
table.
20
H256
So Ahab
H7971 [H8799]
sent
H1121
to all the sons
H3478
of Israel,
H6908 0
and gathered
H5030
the prophets
H6908 [H8799]
together
H2022
to mount
H3760
Carmel.
21
H452
And Elijah
H5066 [H8799]
came
H5971
to all the people,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H5921
How long
H6452 [H8802]
halt
H8147
ye between two
H5587
opinions?
H3068
if the LORD
H430
is God,
H1168
follow him: but if Baal,
H3212 H310 [H8798]
then follow
H5971
him. And the people
H6030 [H8804]
answered
H1697
him not a word.
22
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H452
Elijah
H5971
to the people,
H3498 [H8738]
I, even I only, remain
H5030
a prophet
H3068
of the LORD;
H1168
but Baal's
H5030
prophets
H702
are four
H3967
hundred
H2572
and fifty
H376
men.
23
H5414 [H8799]
Let them therefore give
H8147
us two
H6499
bulls;
H977 [H8799]
and let them choose
H259
one
H6499
bull
H5408 [H8762]
for themselves, and cut it in pieces,
H7760 [H8799]
and lay
H6086
it on wood,
H7760 [H8799]
and put
H784
no fire
H6213 [H8799]
under: and I will prepare
H259
the other
H6499
bull,
H5414 [H8804]
and lay
H6086
it on wood,
H7760 [H8799]
and put
H784
no fire under:
24
H7121 [H8804]
And call
H8034
ye on the name
H430
of your gods,
H7121 [H8799]
and I will call
H8034
on the name
H3068
of the LORD:
H430
and the God
H6030 [H8799]
that answereth
H784
by fire,
H430
let him be God.
H5971
And all the people
H6030 [H8799]
answered
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H2896
It is well
H1697
spoken.
25
H452
And Elijah
H559 [H8799]
said
H5030
to the prophets
H1168
of Baal,
H977 [H8798]
Choose
H259
one
H6499
bull
H6213 [H8798]
for yourselves, and prepare
H7223
it first;
H7227
for ye are many;
H7121 [H8798]
and call
H8034
on the name
H430
of your gods,
H7760 [H8799]
but put
H784
no fire under.
26
H3947 [H8799]
And they took
H6499
the bull
H5414 [H8804]
which was given
H6213 [H8799]
them, and they prepared
H7121 [H8799]
it, and called
H8034
on the name
H1168
of Baal
H1242
from morning
H6672
even until noon,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H1168
O Baal,
H6030 [H8798]
hear
H369
us. But there was no
H6963
voice,
H6030 [H8802]
nor any that answered.
H6452 [H8762]
And they leaped
H4196
upon the altar
H6213 [H8804]
which was made.
27
H6672
And it came to pass at noon,
H452
that Elijah
H2048 [H8762]
mocked
H559 [H8799]
them, and said,
H7121 [H8798]
Call
H1419 H6963
aloud:
H430
for he is a god;
H7879
either he is talking,
H7873
or he is pursuing,
H1870
or he is on a journey,
H194
or perhaps
H3463
he sleepeth,
H3364 [H8799]
and must be awakened.
