1 Kings 18:39-42

39And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, "The Lord, he is God; the Lord, he is God."

40And Elijah said to them, "Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape." And they seized them. And Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon and slaughtered them there.

41And Elijah said to Ahab, "Go up, eat and drink, for there is a sound of the rushing of rain."

42So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Mount Carmel. And he bowed himself down on the earth and put his face between his knees.
