1 Kings

1 Kings 18:37–39

37Answer me, O LORD! Answer me, so that this people will know that You, the LORD, are God, and that You have turned their hearts back again.”

38Then the fire of the LORD fell and consumed the sacrifice, the wood, the stones, and the dust, and it licked up the water in the trench.

39When all the people saw this, they fell facedown and said, “The LORD, He is God! The LORD, He is God!”
