Elijah and the prophets of Baal

Elijah built an altar of

12 stones one for each of the 12 of the tribes of Israel and then poured four jars of water

Elijah challenged 450 prophets of Baal and

400 prophets of asherah to a contest at mount Carmel

Obadiah was scared that ahab would

Kill him if Elijah did not then present himself to the King

Whichever God

Set the pile alight would be the true God

When ahab met Elijah ahab said

Is that you you troubler of Israel

They poured

Water three times

The people shouted

The Lord he is God

The prophets of Baal

Called on their God but nothing happened

King ahab sent the prophet obadiah to

Find water during a terrible drought and famine

Elijah prayed to god

God sent fire to consume the sacrifice

Elijah assured him that

He would meet the King

Two bulls were cut in pieces and

Placed on two piles of wood but not set alight

Elijah replied

That the real troubler was ahab

Elijah commanded that

The prophets of Baal should be killed

Elijah told the people that

They had to choose between the worship of God or the worship of Baal

Elijah went

To pray at the top of mount Carmel

It began

To rain heavily

Obadiah met elijah elijah told him

To report to ahab that he had met him

Elijah teased them and told them

To shout louder to wake up Baal but nothing happened
