1 Kings 18:36-40

36

At the time ofH5927 the evening sacrificeH4503, ElijahH452 the prophetH5030 approachedH5066 the altar and saidH559, “O LORDH3068, GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and IsraelH3478, let it be knownH3045 this dayH3117 thatH3588 YouH859 are GodH430 in IsraelH3478 and that IH589 am Your servantH5650 and have doneH6213 allH3605 theseH428 thingsH1697 at Your commandH1697. 37Answer meH6030, O LORDH3068! Answer meH6030, so that thisH2088 peopleH5971 will knowH3045 thatH3588 YouH859, the LORDH3068, are GodH430, and that YouH859 have turnedH5437 their heartsH3820 back againH322.”

38Then the fireH784 of the LORDH3068 fellH5307 and consumedH398 the sacrificeH5930, the woodH6086, the stonesH68, and the dustH6083, and it licked upH3897 the waterH4325 in the trenchH8585.

39When allH3605 the peopleH5971 saw thisH7200, they fellH5307 facedownH5921H6440 and saidH559, “The LORDH3068, HeH1931 is GodH430! The LORDH3068, HeH1931 is GodH430!”

40Then ElijahH452 orderedH559 them, “SeizeH8610 the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168! Do notH408 let a single oneH376 escapeH4422.” So they seized themH8610, and ElijahH452 brought them downH3381 toH413 the KishonH7028 ValleyH5158 and slaughtered themH7819 thereH8033.
