← 1 Kings 18:19	1 Kings 18:20 (KJV)	1 Kings 18:21 →
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.	So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.	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.
