@ 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
.
strkjv@1Kings:18:22
@ Then
said
Elijah
unto the
people
, I, even I only,
remain
a
prophet
of the
LORD
; but
Baals
prophets
are
four
hundred
and
fifty
men
.
strkjv@1Kings:18:23
@ 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:
strkjv@1Kings:18:24
@ 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
.
strkjv@1Kings:18:25
@ 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.
strkjv@1Kings:18:26
@ 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
.
strkjv@1Kings:18:27
@ 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
.
strkjv@1Kings:18:28
@ And they
cried
aloud
, and
cut
themselves after their
manner
with
knives
and
lancets
, till the
blood
gushed
out
upon them.
strkjv@1Kings:18:29
@ And it came to pass, when
midday
was
past
, and they
prophesied
until the time of the
offering
of the evening
sacrifice

voice
, nor any to
answer

regarded
.
strkjv@1Kings:18:30
@ And
Elijah
said
unto all the
people
, Come
near
unto me. And all the
people
came
near
unto him. And he
repaired
the
altar
of the
LORD
that was broken
down
.
strkjv@1Kings:18:31
@ And
Elijah
took
twelve
sh@
stones
, according to the
number
of the
tribes
of the
sons
of
Jacob
, unto whom the
word
of the
LORD
came,
saying
,
Israel
shall be thy
name
:
strkjv@1Kings:18:32
@ And with the
stones
he
built
an
altar
in the
name
of the
LORD
: and he
made
a
trench
about
the
altar
, as great as would
contain
two
measures
of
seed
.
strkjv@1Kings:18:33
@ And he
put
the
wood
in
order
, and
cut
the
bullock
in pieces, and
laid
him on the
wood

said
,
Fill
four
barrels
with
water
, and
pour
it on the burnt
sacrifice
, and on the
wood
.

time

ran
round

LORD
God
of

Isaac

known
this
day
that thou art
God
in
Israel

all these things at thy
