- At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: "O LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command.
- Answer me, O LORD, answer me, so these people will know that you, O LORD, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again."
- Then the fire of the LORD fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.
- When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, "The LORD -he is God! The LORD -he is God!"
- Then Elijah commanded them, "Seize the prophets of Baal. Don't let anyone get away!" They seized them, and Elijah had them brought down to the Kishon Valley and slaughtered there.

- 到了獻晚祭的時候、先知以利亞近前來、說、亞伯拉罕、以撒、以色列的 神、耶和華阿、求你今日使人知道你是以色列的 神、也知道我是你的僕人、又是奉你的命行這一切事。
- 耶和華阿、求你應允我、應允我、使這民知道你耶和華是 神、又知道是你叫這民的心回轉。
- 於是耶和華降下火來、燒盡燔祭、木柴、石頭、塵土、又燒乾溝裡的水。
- 眾民看見了、就俯伏在地、說、耶和華是 神、耶和華是 神。
- 以利亞對他們說、拿住巴力的先知、不容一人逃脫。眾人就拿住他們.以利亞帶他們到基順河邊、在那裡殺了他們。
