1 Kings

1 Kings 18:33–35

³³Next, he arranged the wood, cut up the bull, placed it on the wood, ³⁴and said, “Fill four waterpots and pour the water on the offering and on the wood.”^c

“Do it a second time,” he said, and they did it a second time.

“Do it a third time,” he said, and they did it a third time.

³⁵So the water ran down around the altar and even filled the trench.
