1 Kings 18

Summary

The prophet Elijah and King Ahab put their gods to the test. Elijah erects an altar for the Lord, while Ahab's prophets create one for Baal. Both parties place a cut bull as sacrifice, but neither lights their altar on fire, instead, they decide that whoever's god ignites their own altar is the true God. The prophets appeal to Baal for hours, but nothing happens. Elijah prays to God and the Lord's altar is immediately ablaze, incinerating everything on it. God's power is proven and immense, while Baal is revealed to be a mere idol. Elijah executes the prophets of Baal.
