1 Kings 18:24-39

24And call ye on the name of your 1gods, and I will call on the name of Jehovah; and the 2god that answers by fire, let him be 3God. And all the people answered and said, The word is good.

25And Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Choose one bullock for yourselves, and sacrifice it first; for ye are the many; and call on the name of your 4god, but put no fire.

26And they took the bullock which had been given them, and sacrificed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, O Baal, answer us! But there was no voice, and none answered. And they leaped about the altar that had been made.

27And it came to pass at noon that Elijah mocked them and said, Cry aloud; for he is a 5god; for he is meditating, or gone aside, or he is on a journey; perhaps he sleeps, and will awake.

28And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with swords and spears, till the blood gushed out upon them.

29And it came to pass when midday was past, that they prophesied until the [time] of the offering up of the oblation; but there was neither voice, nor any that answered, nor any attention.

30Then Elijah said to all the people, Draw near to me. And all the people drew near to him. And he repaired the altar of Jehovah which was broken down.

31And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of Jehovah came saying, Israel shall be thy name;

32and with the stones he built an altar in the name of Jehovah, and made a trench round about the altar, of the capacity of two measures of seed;

33and he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it on the wood. And he said, Fill four pitchers with water, and pour it on the burnt-offering, and on the wood.

34And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.

35And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.

36And it came to pass at [the time of] the offering up of the oblation, that Elijah the prophet drew near, and said, Jehovah, 6God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known this day that thou art 7God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things by thy word.

37Answer me, Jehovah, answer me, that this people may know that thou Jehovah art 8God, and [that] thou hast turned their heart back again.

38And the fire of Jehovah fell, and consumed the burnt-offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.

39And all the people saw [it], and they fell on their faces and said, Jehovah, he is 9God! Jehovah, he is 10God!
