36Then at the time of the offering, Elijah the prophet came near and said, O Lord, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be seen this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things by your order.
37Give me an answer, O Lord, give me an answer, so that this people may see that you are God, and that you have made their hearts come back again.
38Then the fire of the Lord came down, burning up the offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and drinking up the water in the drain.
39And when the people saw it, they all went down on their faces, and said, The Lord, he is God, the Lord, he is God.
40And Elijah said to them, Take the prophets of Baal, let not one of them get away. So they took them, and Elijah made them go down to the stream Kishon, and put them to death there.
41Then Elijah said to Ahab, Up! take food and drink, for there is a sound of much rain.
42So Ahab went up to have food and drink, while Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he went down on the earth, putting his face between his knees.
