1 Kings 18:13-19 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

13. Wasn’t it reported to my lord what I did when Jezebel slaughtered the Lord’s prophets? I hid 100 of the prophets of the Lord, 50 men to a cave, and I provided them with food and water.

14. Now you say, ‘Go tell your lord, “Elijah is here! ” ’ He will kill me! ”

15. Then Elijah said, “As the Lord of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, today I will present myself to Ahab.”

16. Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him. Then Ahab went to meet Elijah.

17. When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, “Is that you, you destroyer of Israel? ”

18. He replied, “I have not destroyed Israel, but you and your father’s house have, because you have abandoned the Lord’s commands and followed the Baals.

19. Now summon all Israel to meet me at Mount Carmel, along with the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of Asherah who eat at Jezebel’s table.”
