16 Obadiah left and told Ahab where to find Elijah.Ahab went to meet Elijah,
17 and when he saw him, Ahab shouted, “There you are, the biggest troublemaker in Israel!”
18 Elijah answered:You're the troublemaker—not me! You and your family have disobeyed the Lord's commands by worshipping Baal.
19 Call together everyone from Israel to meet me on Mount Carmel. Be sure to bring along the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah who eat at Jezebel's table.
20 Ahab got everyone together, then they went to meet Elijah on Mount Carmel.
21 Elijah stood in front of them and said, “How much longer will you try to have things both ways? If the Lord is God, worship him! But if Baal is God, worship him!”The people did not say a word.
22 Then Elijah continued:I am the Lord's only prophet, but Baal has four hundred and fifty prophets.
