Melachim Alef 18:34-40 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

34. And Eliyahu said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.

35. And the mayim ran around about the Mizbe'ach; and even filled the te'alah (trench) also with mayim.

36. And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the minchah (evening sacrifice), that Eliyahu HaNavi came near, and said, Hashem Elohei Avraham, Yitzchak and of Yisroel, let it be known this day that Thou art Elohim in Yisroel, and that I am Thy Eved, and that I have done all these things at Thy Davar.

37. Answer me, Hashem, answer me, that HaAm Hazeh may know that Thou art Hashem HaElohim, and that Thou hast turned back their lev.

38. Then the Eish of Hashem fell, and consumed the olah and the wood, and the avanim, and the aphar, and licked up the mayim that was in the te'alah (trench).

39. And when kol HaAm saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, Hashem hu HaElohim; Hashem hu HaElohim.

40. And Eliyahu said unto them, Seize the nevi'im of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them; and Eliyahu brought them down to the Brook Kishon, and slaughtered them there.
