13. Has it not been revealed to you, my lord, what I did when Jezebel was killing the prophets of the Lord: how I hid one hundred men from the prophets of the Lord, fifty and fifty, in caves, and how I fed them with bread and water?
14. And now you say: 'Go and tell your lord that Elijah is here,' so that he may kill me!"
15. And Elijah said, "As the Lord of hosts lives, before whose face I stand, this day I will appear to him."
16. Therefore, Obadiah went away to meet Ahab, and he reported to him. And Ahab went to meet Elijah.
17. And when he had seen him, he said, "Are you the one who is disturbing Israel?"
18. And he said: "I have not troubled Israel. But it is you, and the house of your father, who have abandoned the commandments of the Lord, and have followed the Baals.
19. Yet truly now, send and gather to me all of Israel, on Mount Carmel, with the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal, and the four hundred prophets of the sacred groves, who eat from the table of Jezebel."
20. Ahab sent to all the sons of Israel, and he gathered together the prophets on mount Carmel.
21. Then Elijah, drawing near to all the people, said: "How long will you waver between two sides? If the Lord is God, follow him. But if Baal is, then follow him." And the people did not respond a word to him.
