11:018:028 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner
           with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.

11:018:029 And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied
           until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that
           there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that
           regarded.

11:018:030 And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me.  And
           all the people came near unto him.  And he repaired the altar
           of the lord that was broken down.

11:018:031 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the
           tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the lord
           came, saying, Israel shall be thy name: 

11:018:032 And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the lord
           and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would
           contain two measures of seed.

11:018:033 And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces,
           and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with
           water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.

11:018:034 And 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.

11:018:035 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the
           trench also with water.

11:018:036 And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening
           sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, lord
           God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day
           that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and
           that I have done all these things at thy word.

11:018:037 Hear me, O lord, hear me, that this people may know that thou
           art the lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart back
           again.

11:018:038 Then the fire of the lord fell, and consumed the burnt
           sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and
           licked up the water that was in the trench.

11:018:039 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces:  and
           they said, The lord, he is the God; the lord, he is the God.

11:018:040 And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not
           one of them escape.  And they took them:  and Elijah brought
           them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.

11:018:041 And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for
           there is a sound of abundance of rain.

11:018:042 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink.  And Elijah went up to the
           top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and
           put his face between his knees,
