1 Kings 18:24 in Context — 1 Kings 18
22 Et Élie dit au peuple: Je suis resté seul des prophètes de l’Éternel, et il y a quatre cent cinquante prophètes de Baal.
23 Que l’on nous donne deux taureaux; qu’ils choisissent pour eux l’un des taureaux, qu’ils le coupent par morceaux, et qu’ils le placent sur le bois, sans y mettre le feu; et moi, je préparerai l’autre taureau, et je le placerai sur le bois, sans y mettre le feu.
24 Puis invoquez le nom de votre dieu; et moi, j’invoquerai le nom de l’Éternel. Le dieu qui répondra par le feu, c’est celui-là qui sera Dieu. Et tout le peuple répondit, en disant: C’est bien!
25 Élie dit aux prophètes de Baal: Choisissez pour vous l’un des taureaux, préparez-le les premiers, car vous êtes les plus nombreux, et invoquez le nom de votre dieu; mais ne mettez pas le feu.
26 Ils prirent le taureau qu’on leur donna, et le préparèrent; et ils invoquèrent le nom de Baal, depuis le matin jusqu’à midi, en disant: Baal réponds nous! Mais il n’y eut ni voix ni réponse. Et ils sautaient devant l’autel qu’ils avaient fait.
