וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אֵֽלִיָּ֔הוּ חַ֚י יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָמַ֖דְתִּי לְפָנָ֑יו כִּ֥י הַיּ֖וֹם אֵרָאֶ֥ה אֵלָֽיו׃
I rzekł Eljasz: Żyw Wiekuisty zastępów, przed którego obliczem stałem, że mu się dziś ukażę.

“And Elijah said, as the Lord lives” [18:15]. Elijah said to Obadiah: do not be afraid, I will present myself to Ahab. Obadiah went and told Ahab and Ahab went to meet Elijah. Ahab said to Elijah, you troubler of Israel. Elijah responded: I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father’s household have troubled Israel. You have not observed the commandments and have worshipped foreign gods. Therefore, assemble all of Israel at Mount Carmel, and your prophets of Baal, four hundred and fifty men, false prophets, and a further four hundred men who are prophets of falsehood who worship the linden tree, all those who ate at the table of Jezebel. Gather them together and we will show who is right.
