1 Kings 18:21-40

21And ElijahH452 cameH5066 nearH5066 unto allH3605 the peopleH5971, and saidH559, HowH4970 longH5704 halt ye betweenH5704 twoH8147 opinions? ifH518 the LORDH3068 be GodH430, followH310 him: but ifH518 BaalH1168, then followH310 him. And the peopleH5971 answeredH559 him notH3808 a wordH1697.

22Then saidH559 ElijahH452 unto the peopleH5971, I, even I onlyH905, am leftH3498 a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068; but Baal’s prophetsH5030 are fourH702 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 menH376.

23LetH5414 them therefore giveH5414 usH5414 twoH8147 bullocks; and letH5414 them chooseH977 one bullock for themselvesH1992, and cutH5408 it in piecesH5408, and layH5414 it on the woodH6086, and putH5414 noH3808 fireH784 underH5921: and I will dress the otherH259 bullock, and layH5414 it on the woodH6086, and putH5414 noH3808 fireH784 underH5921.

24And callH7121 ye on the nameH8034 of your godH430, and I will callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: and the GodH430 that answereth by fireH784, letH1961 him be GodH430. And allH3605 the peopleH5971 answeredH559 and saidH559, It is wellH2896 spokenH559.

25And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168, ChooseH977 youH859 one bullock for yourselves, and dress it firstH7223; for ye are manyH7227; and callH7121 on the nameH8034 of your godH430, but putH7760 noH3808 fireH784 under.

26And they tookH3947 the bullock whichH834 was givenH5414 them, and they dressed it, and calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of BaalH1168 from morningH1242 evenH5704 untilH5704 noonH6672, sayingH559, O BaalH1168, hearH6963 usH5414. But there was noH369 voiceH6963, norH369 anyH369 that answeredH559. And they leaped aboutH5921 the altarH4196 whichH834 was madeH6213.

27And it cameH1961 to passH1961 at noonH6672, that ElijahH452 mockedH2048 them, and saidH559, CryH7121 aloud: for he is a godH430; eitherH3588 he is musing, or he is goneH1961 aside, or he is in a journeyH1870, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.

28And they criedH7121 aloud, and cutH1413 themselvesH5921 afterH5921 their mannerH4941 with knivesH2719 and lancesH7420, tillH5704 the bloodH1818 gushedH8210 outH8210 uponH5921 them.

29And it was soH1961, when midday was past, that they prophesiedH5012 untilH5704 the time of the offering of the evening oblation; but there was neitherH369 voiceH6963, norH369 anyH369 to answerH6030, norH369 anyH369 that regarded.

30And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto allH3605 the peopleH5971, ComeH5066 nearH5066 unto meH413; and allH3605 the peopleH5971 cameH5066 nearH5066 unto him. And he repairedH7495 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 that was thrownH2040 downH2040.

31And ElijahH452 tookH3947 twelveH6240 stonesH68, accordingH413 to the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290, unto whomH834 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961, sayingH559, IsraelH3478 shall be thy nameH8034.

32And with the stonesH68 he builtH1129 an altarH4196 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068; and he madeH6213 a trench aboutH5439 the altarH4196, as great as would contain twoH1004 measuresH5429 of seedH2233.

33And he putH7760 the woodH6086 in order, and cutH5408 the bullock in piecesH5408, and laidH7760 it on the woodH6086. And he said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt offering, and on the woodH6086.

34And he saidH559, DoH8138 it the secondH8138 time; and they didH8027 it the secondH8138 time. And he saidH559, DoH8138 it the thirdH8027 time; and they didH8027 it the thirdH8027 time.

35And the waterH4325 ran roundH5439 aboutH5439 the altarH4196; and he filledH4390 the trench also with waterH4325.

36And it cameH1961 to passH1961 at the time of the offering of the evening oblation, that ElijahH452 the prophetH5030 cameH1961 nearH5066, and saidH559, O LORDH3068, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, of IsaacH3327, and of IsraelH3478, letH1961 it be knownH3045 this dayH3117 that thou art GodH430 in IsraelH3478, and that I am thy servantH5650, and that I have doneH6213 allH3605 theseH428 things at thy wordH1697.

37Hear meH5437, O LORDH3068, hear meH5437, that this peopleH5971 may knowH3045 that thou, LORDH3068, art GodH430, and that thou hast turnedH5437 their heartH3820 backH322 againH322.

38Then the fireH784 of the LORDH3068 fellH5307, and consumedH398 the burntH5930 offering, and the woodH6086, and the stonesH68, and the dustH6083, and lickedH3897 upH853 the waterH4325 that was in the trench.

39And when allH3605 the peopleH5971 sawH7200 it, they fellH5307 on their facesH6440: and they saidH559, The LORDH3068, he is GodH430; the LORDH3068, he is GodH430.

40and ElijahH452 saidH559 unto them, TakeH8610 the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168; letH408 notH408 one of them escapeH4422. And they tookH8610 them: and ElijahH452 broughtH3381 them downH3381 to the brookH5158 KishonH7028, and slewH7819 them there.
