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.  
33 And he aput the wood in order, cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood, and said, “Fill four waterpots with water, and bpour it on the burnt sacrifice and on the wood.”  
34 Then he said, “Do it a second time,” and they did it a second time; and he said, “Do it a third time,” and they did it a third time.
35 So the water ran all around the altar; and he also filled athe trench with water.  
36 And it came to pass, at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near and said, “Lord aGod of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, blet it be known this day that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and that cI have done all these things at Your word.  
37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that You are the Lord God, and that You have turned their hearts back to You again.”
38 Then athe fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench.  
39 Now when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, a“The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God!”  
40 And Elijah said to them, a“Seize the prophets of Baal! Do not let one of them escape!” So they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the Brook bKishon and cexecuted them there.
