And Elijahª cameª° unto¹ all¹ the people,ª and said,ª° How long²¹¹ haltª° ye¹ between¹ twoª opinions?ª if¹ the LORDª [be] God,ª follow¹¹ him: but if¹ Baal,ª [then] followª²°¹ him. And the peopleª answeredª° him not¹ a word.ª" {1Kg 18:18-21} + "And Elijahª saidª° unto the prophetsª of Baal,ª Chooseª° you oneª bullockª for yourselves, and dressª° [it] first;ª for¹ ye¹ [are] many;ª and callª° on the nameª of your gods,ª but putª° no¹ fireª [under]. ...
