1 Kings 18:32-38

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, 1God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known this day that thou art 2God 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 3God, 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.
