So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel
By messengers, requiring their attendance at Mount Carmel at such
a time, at least their chief and principal men:
and gathered the prophets together unto Mount
Carmel;
the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal, but not the four
hundred prophets of the groves; for of them we have no account
afterwards, only of the former; it may be they were not at the
command of Ahab, only of Jezebel, at whose table they ate, who
would not suffer them to go.
