AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Kings 18:19 "Now then, send word and gather to me all Israel at Mount Carmel, together with the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of [the goddess] Asherah, who eat at [Queen] Jezebel's table." |
Bible Question:
How many prophets (in total) of the pagan gods were at the Mount Carmel? Was it 850 or 450? From what indicated in scripture, I believe it was 850, but in verse 22, Elijah said 450 of Baal. If it was 450, does it mean that the 400 prophets of Asherah were included in the 450 Baal's prophets? Thank you. Shalom Azure |
Bible Answer: The answer is there were 850 false prophets as stated in Verse 19. But verse 22 is only talking of the 450 false prophets of Baal. |
