Elijah is using call on the name of as a common expression of his culture to mean “pray to by name.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And you will call upon your god by name, and for my part, I will call upon Yahweh by name] or [And you will pray to your god by name, and for my part, I will pray to Yahweh by name here and in the next verse]
