1 Kings 18:17-19
New English Translation

17 When Ahab saw Elijah, he[a] said to him, “Is it really you, the one who brings disaster on[b] Israel?” 18 Elijah[c] replied, “I have not brought disaster on[d] Israel. But you and your father’s dynasty have, by abandoning the Lord’s commandments and following the Baals. 19 Now send out messengers[e] and assemble all Israel before me at Mount Carmel, as well as the 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of Asherah whom Jezebel supports.”[f]
