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,
