1 Kings 18:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 And when Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
18 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel, but [a]thou and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baal.
19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel’s table.

1 Kings 18:17-19
New International Version
17 When he saw Elijah, he said to him, “Is that you, you troubler(A) of Israel?”
18 “I have not made trouble for Israel,” Elijah replied. “But you(B) and your father’s family have. You have abandoned(C) the Lord’s commands and have followed the Baals. 19 Now summon(D) the people from all over Israel to meet me on Mount Carmel.(E) And bring the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at Jezebel’s table.”(F)
