1 KINGS 18:40 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.”
And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there — Elijah commands the execution of the 450 Baal prophets. The phrase shows the violence that follows divine demonstration: the false prophets are killed at the Kishon brook. This execution represents judgment upon those who led Israel to apostasy.
