28 So they cried aloud, and acut themselves, as was their custom, with1 knives and lances, until the blood gushed out on them.
29 And when midday was past, athey prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice. But there was bno voice; no one answered, no one paid attention.
30 Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come near to me.” So all the people came near to him. aAnd he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down.
31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying, a“Israel shall be your name.”
32 Then with the stones he built an altar ain the name of the Lord; and he made a trench around the altar large enough to hold two seahs of seed.
