018:032 With the stones he built an altar in the name of Yahweh;
and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would
contain two measures of seed.
018:033 He put the wood in order, and cut the bull in pieces,
and laid it on the wood. He said, Fill four jars with water,
and pour it on the burnt offering, and on the wood.
018:034 He said, Do it the second time; and they did it the second time.
He said, Do it the third time; and they did it the third time.
018:035 The water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench
also with water.
018:036 It happened at the time of the offering of the [evening] offering,
that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, Yahweh, the God
of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this
day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant,
and that I have done all these things at your word.
018:037 Hear me, Yahweh, hear me, that this people may know
that you, Yahweh, are God, and [that] you have turned their
heart back again.
018:038 Then the fire of Yahweh fell, and consumed the burnt offering,
and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up
the water that was in the trench.
018:039 When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces:

018:045 It happened in a little while, that the sky grew black
with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain.
Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel:
