I Kings 18:29-39 (Haftarah 2.19)

When noon passed, they kept raving^-f until the hour of presenting the meal offering. Still there was no sound, and none who responded or heeded.

Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come closer to me”; and all the people came closer to him. He repaired the damaged altar of the LORD.

Then Elijah took twelve stones, corresponding to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob—to whom the word of the LORD had come: “Israel shall be your name”—

and with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD. Around the altar he made a trench large enough for two seahs of seed.

He laid out the wood, and he cut up the bull and laid it on the wood.

And he said, “Fill four jars with water and pour it over the burnt offering and the wood.” Then he said, “Do it a second time”; and they did it a second time. “Do it a third time,” he said; and they did it a third time.

The water ran down around the altar, and even the trench was filled with water.

When it was time to present the meal offering, the prophet Elijah came forward and said, “O LORD, 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 these things at Your bidding.

Answer me, O LORD, answer me, that this people may know that You, O LORD, are God; for You have turned their hearts backward.”^-e

Then fire from the LORD descended and consumed the burnt offering, the wood, the stones, and the earth; and it licked up the water that was in the trench.

When they saw this, all the people flung themselves on their faces and cried out: “The LORD alone is God, The LORD alone is God!”
