Verse 25 is found in chapter 18 of 1 Kings. Elijah challenges the people over their indecision and proposes that the prophets of Baal prepare a sacrifice without lighting the fire. For hours they call upon Baal, but receive no response. The silence of the invoked god contrasts with the expectations of his prophets. The scene uses the absence of a response as a narrative device preparing for the Lord’s manifestation.
