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

At the time for offering the evening sacrifice,  the prophet Elijah approached the altar and said, “LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel,  today let it be known  that you are God in Israel and I am your servant, and that at your word I have done all these things.

Then Elijah approached all the people and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions?  , If the LORD is God, follow him. But if Baal, follow him.”  But the people didn’t answer him a word.

Then the LORD’s fire fell and consumed the burnt offering, the wood, the stones, and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench.

When all the people saw it, they fell facedown  and said, “The LORD, he is God! The LORD, he is God! ”

On the seventh  time, he reported, “There’s a cloud as small as a man’s hand coming up from the sea.” Then Elijah said, “Go and tell Ahab, ‘Get your chariot ready and go down so the rain doesn’t stop you.’ ”

The power of the LORD   was on Elijah, and he tucked his mantle under his belt  and ran ahead of Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

Elijah said to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a rainstorm.”

Then he said to his servant, “Go up and look toward the sea.” So he went up, looked, and said, “There’s nothing.” Seven times Elijah said, “Go back.”

Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come near me.” So all the people approached him. Then he repaired the LORD’s altar that had been torn down

Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the LORD.  The God who answers with fire, he is God.” All the people answered, “That’s fine.”

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, “Israel will be your name”   

At noon Elijah mocked them. He said, “Shout loudly, for he’s a god! Maybe he’s thinking it over; maybe he has wandered away;  or maybe he’s on the road. Perhaps he’s sleeping and will wake up! ”

and he built an altar  with the stones in the name of the LORD. Then he made a trench around the altar large enough to hold about four gallons.
