First Kings 18:27

At midday (around noon, when the sun was at its highest), Elijah began to taunt them, saying, "Call out louder! He is a god, but perhaps he is deep in thought, or has gone to the toilet, or is traveling, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened."
[Ugaritic texts mention how the goddess Anat searches for the god Baal and the answer she receives is that he is out hunting. Other texts describe how he dies and must be awakened. The Greek historian Menander of Ephesus (200 BC) writes how King Hiram of Tyre (a contemporary of David, see 2 Sam. 5:11) established rituals for how the Greek god Heracles should be awakened. The prophets of Baal did not consider Elijah's suggestions unworthy of their god, but took them very seriously.]

καὶ ἐγένετο μεσημβρίᾳ καὶ ἐμυκτήρισεν αὐτοὺς Ηλιου ὁ Θεσβίτης καὶ εἶπεν ἐπικαλεῖσθε ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ὅτι θεός ἐστιν ὅτι ἀδολεσχία αὐτῷ ἐστιν καὶ ἅμα μήποτε χρηματίζει αὐτός ἢ μήποτε καθεύδει αὐτός καὶ ἐξαναστήσεται
