I go do dis tin, bikos Solomon rijet mi kon bigin woship oda gods. E dey woship Astarte wey bi Sidon juju; Kemosh wey bi Moab pipol god and Milkom, wey Ammon pipol dey serve. Solomon nor obey mi; e dey do bad tins and e nor keep my laws and kommand, just as David en papa keep am.
Elijah kon tell di pipol, “Na how e go tey rish before una go know wetin una suppose do? If God na di korrect God, den make una follow am! But if na Baal korrect, make una follow am too!” But di pipol nor tok anytin.

Den, one among dem go sey, ‘I bi God own.’ Anoda one go sey ‘I bi Jakob pikin.’ and anoda one go rite God name put for en hand kon sey, I dey among God pipol and my name na Israel.”
