And he reared upª° an altarª for Baalª in the houseª of Baal,ª which¹ he had builtª° in Samaria.ª" {1Kg 16:31-32} + "Now¹ therefore send,ª° [and] gatherª° to¹ me¹ all¹ Israelª unto¹ mountª Carmel,ª and the prophetsª of Baalª fourª hundredª and fifty,ª and the prophetsª of the grovesª fourª hundred,ª which eatª° at Jezebel'sª table.ª" {1Kg 18:19} + "Then saidª° Elijahª unto¹ the people,ª I,¹ [even] I only,¹ remainª° a prophetª of the LORD;ª but Baal'sª prophetsª [are] fourª hundredª and fiftyª men.ª" {1Kg 18:22} + "And Elijahª saidª° unto them, Takeª°¹ the prophetsª of Baal;ª let not¹ oneª of them¹ escape.ª° And they tookª° them: and Elijahª brought them downª° to¹ the brookª Kishon,ª and slewª° them there.¹" {1Kg 18:40}
