14 But even after all that, you tell me, ‘Say to your master, "Elijah is here!"’ Ahab will kill me!"
15 Elijah said, "As surely as the Lord of heavenly forces lives, the one I serve, I will appear before Ahab today."
16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab. He told him what had happened. Then Ahab went to meet Elijah.
17 When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, "Is that you, the one who troubles Israel?"
18 Elijah answered, "I haven’t troubled Israel; you and your father’s house have! You did as much when you deserted the Lord’s commands and followed the Baals.
19 Now send a message and gather all Israel to me at Mount Carmel. Gather the four hundred fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah who eat at Jezebel’s table."
20 Ahab sent the message to all the Israelites. He gathered the prophets at Mount Carmel.
