1 Kings 18:12-20
English Standard Version
Chapter 18
12And as soon as I have gone from you, the Spirit of the Lord will carry you I know not where. And so, when I come and tell Ahab and he cannot find you, he will kill me, although I your servant have feared the Lord from my youth. 13Has it not been told my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of the Lord, how I hid a hundred men of the Lord 's prophets by fifties in a cave and fed them with bread and water? 14And now you say, ‘Go, tell your lord, "Behold, Elijah is here"’; and he will kill me." 15And Elijah said, "As the Lord of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself to him today." 16So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him. And Ahab went to meet Elijah.
17When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, "Is it you, you troubler of Israel?"
18And he answered, "I have not troubled Israel, but you have, and your father 's house, because you have abandoned the commandments of the Lord and followed the Baals.
19Now therefore send and gather all Israel to me at Mount Carmel, and the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of Asherah, who eat at Jezebel 's table."
