                                THE RUNAWAY PROPHET PART IX

It is time for an encounter between the God of Israel and king Ahab's god, Baal, as you can read in I Kings 18:19-20

Now summon the people from all over Israel to meet me on Mount Carmel. And bring the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah who eat at Jezebel's table. So Ahab sent word throughout all Israel and assembled the prophets on Mount Carmel.

King Ahab has all the people of Israel assembled as directed by the prophet Elijah, together with the false prophets of Baal and Asherah who had been brought to Israel by his wife Jezebel.
