1 Kings 18:30–38

³⁰Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come near to me,” so all the people came closer to him. He repaired the altar of Yahweh that had been destroyed. ³¹Elijah took twelve stones according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of God came, saying, “Israel shall be your name.” ³²With them, he built an altar in the name of Yahweh, and he made a trench which would have held^j about two seahs of seed, all around the altar. ³³And he arranged the wood, cut the bull into pieces, and placed it on the wood.^k Then he said, “Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood.” ³⁴He said, “Do it again!” They did it again. He said, “Do it a third time!” So they did it a third time. ³⁵The water went all around the altar, and the trench also was filled with water.

³⁶It happened at the offering of the evening oblation, Elijah the prophet went near, and he said, “O Yahweh, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel; let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and that I have done all of these things by your words. ³⁷Answer me, O Yahweh, answer me; that this people may know that you, O Yahweh, are God and that you have turned their hearts back again.” ³⁸Then the fire of Yahweh fell, and it consumed the burnt offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust; and the water which was in the trench it licked up!
