The story: Elijah told the people, "the God that answereth by fire, let him be God," and the prophets of Baal called on Baal from morning until the evening sacrifice, "But there was no voice, nor any that answered." Elijah built an altar of twelve stones, had water poured on the sacrifice and the wood until the trench was full, and called on the LORD, and "the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench." When all the people saw it, "they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God."
