Portal:Bible/Featured chapter/1 Kings 18
At Mount Carmel, Elijah announces he will sacrifice a bull to Yahweh, and he expects that the worshippers of Baal will sacrifice a bull to Baal, stating that the real god will respond. When there is no response from Baal, he makes the sacrifice to Yahweh, and a fire appears from heaven and consumes it. The people convert from worship of Baal to that of Yahweh en-masse.
