1 Kings 18:33-43

[33] the wood  in order,  and cut  the bullock  in pieces, and laid  him on the wood,  [34] And he said,  Do it the second time.  And he said,  Do it the third time.  [35] And the water  round about  the altar;  and he filled  the trench  also with water.  [36] And it came to pass at the time of the offering  of the evening sacrifice,  that Elijah  the prophet  came near,  and said,  LORD  God  of Abraham,  Isaac,  and of Israel,  let it be known  this day  that thou art God  in Israel,  and that I am thy servant,  and that I have done  all these things at thy word.  [37] Hear  me, O LORD,  hear  me, that this people  may know  that thou art the LORD  God,  their heart  back  again.  [38] Then 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.  [39] And 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.  [40] And Elijah  said  unto them, Take  the prophets  of Baal;  let not one  of them escape.  And they took  them: and Elijah  brought them down  to the brook  Kishon,  and slew  them there. [41] And Elijah  said  unto Ahab,  Get thee up,  eat  and drink;  for there is a sound  of abundance  of rain.  [42] So Ahab  went up  to eat  and to drink.  And Elijah  went up  to the top  of Carmel;  and he cast himself down  upon the earth,  and put  his face  between his knees,  [43] And said  to his servant,  Go up  now, look  toward  the sea.  And he went up,  and looked,  and said,  There is nothing.  And he said,  Go again  seven  times.
