25 Then Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose for yourselves one bull and prepare it first, for you are many, and call upon the name of your god, but put no fire to it.” 26 And they took the bull that was given them, and they prepared it and called upon the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, “O Baal, answer us!” But there was no voice, and no one answered. And they limped around the altar that they had made.

29 And as midday passed, they raved on until the time of ^xthe offering of the oblation, but there was no voice. No one answered; no one paid attention.

36 And at the time of ^cthe offering of the oblation, Elijah the prophet came near and said, “O Lord, ^dGod of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that ^eyou are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that ^fI have done all these things at your word. 37 Answer me, O Lord, answer me, that this people may know that you, O Lord, are God, and that you have turned their hearts back.” 38 ^gThen the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. 39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, ^h“The Lord, he is God; the Lord, he is God.” 40 And Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape.” And they seized them. And Elijah brought them down to ⁱthe brook Kishon and ^jslaughtered them there.
