1 Kings 18:36-40

36And it came to pass at the time of the offeringH5927 of the evening sacrificeH4503, that ElijahH452 the prophetH5030 came nearH5066, and saidH559, YhwhH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and of IsraelH3478, let it be knownH3045 this dayH3117 that thou art GodH430 in IsraelH3478, and that I am thy servantH5650, and that I have doneH6213 all these things at thy wordH1697.

37HearH6030 me, O YhwhH3068, hearH6030 me, that this peopleH5971 may knowH3045 that thou art YhwhH3068 GodH430, and that thou hast turnedH5437 their heartH3820 backH5437 againH322.

38Then the fireH784 of YhwhH3068 fellH5307, and consumedH398 the burnt sacrificeH5930, and the woodH6086, and the stonesH68, and the dustH6083, and licked upH3897 the waterH4325 that was in the trenchH8585.

39And when all the peopleH5971 sawH7200 it, they fellH5307 on their facesH6440: and they saidH559, YhwhH3068, he is the GodH430; YhwhH3068, he is the GodH430.

40And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto them, TakeH8610 the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168; let not oneH376 of them escapeH4422. And they tookH8610 them: and ElijahH452 brought them downH3381 to the brookH5158 KishonH7028, and slewH7819 them there.1
