I did not make this up, and I am not implying anything, what is written is what is written (2 versions are below):
1 Kings 18:21 And Ĕliyahu came to all the people, and said, “How long would you keep hopping between two opinions? If YHWH is the Mighty One, follow Him; and if Ba‛al, follow him.” But the people answered him not a word. 22 And Ĕliyahu said to the people, “I alone am left a prophet of YHWH, but the prophets of Ba‛al are four hundred and fifty men. 23 “Now let them give us two bulls. And let them choose one bull for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, but set no fire. And I, I prepare the other bull, and shall lay it on the wood, but set no fire. 24 “And you shall call on the name of your mighty one, and I, I call on the Name of YHWH. And the the Mighty One who answers by fire, He is the Mighty One.” So all the people answered and said, “The word is good.” 25 And Ĕliyahu said to the prophets of Ba‛al, “Choose one bull for yourselves and prepare it first, for you are many. And call on the name of your mighty one, but set no fire.” 26 So they took the bull which was given them, and prepared it, and called on the name of Ba‛al from morning even until noon, saying, “O Ba‛al, answer us!” But there was no voice and no one answered. And they leaped about the altar which they had made. 27 And it came to be at noon, that Ĕliyahu taunted them and said, “Cry aloud, for he is a mighty one; he is meditating, or he is busy, or he is on a journey, or it could be that he is asleep and has to be awakened!” 28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves, according to their ruling, with knives and spears, until the blood gushed out on them. 29 And it came to be when midday was past, that they prophesied until the time of bringing the evening offering. But there was no voice and no one answered, and no one paying attention. 30 Then Ĕliyahu said to all the people, “Come closer to me.” And all the people came closer to him. And he repaired the altar of YHWH that was broken down. 31 And Ĕliyahu took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Ya‛aqoḇ, to whom the word of YHWH had come, saying, “Yisra’ĕl is your name.” 32 And with the stones he built an altar in the Name of YHWH. And he made a trench around the altar large enough to hold two seahs of seed. 33 And he arranged the wood, and cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood, and said, “Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood.” 34 Then he said, “Do it a second time,” and they did it a second time. And he said, “Do it a third time,” and they did it a third time. 35 And the water flowed around the altar, and he filled the trench with water too. 36 And it came to be, at the time of bringing the evening offering, that Ĕliyahu the prophet came near and said, “ YHWH the Mighty One of Aḇraham, Yitsḥaq, and Yisra’ĕl, let it be known today: You are the Mighty One in Yisra’ĕl, and I Your servant, have done all these matters by Your word. 37 “Answer me, O YHWH, answer me, and let this people know that You are YHWH the Mighty One, and You shall turn their hearts back to You again.” 38 Then the fire of YHWH fell and consumed the burnt offering, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench. 39 And all the people saw, and fell on their faces, and said, “ YHWH, He is the the Mighty One! YHWH, He is the the Mighty One!”
1 Kings 18:21-39, World English Bible
21Elijah came near to all the people, and said, "How long will you waver between the two sides? If Yahweh is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him." The people answered him not a word. 22Then Elijah said to the people, "I, even I only, am left a prophet of Yahweh; but Baal's prophets are four hundred fifty men. 23Let them therefore give us two bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under; and I will dress the other bull, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under it. 24You call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of Yahweh. The God who answers by fire, let him be God." All the people answered, "It is well said." 25Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, "Choose one bull for yourselves, and dress it first; for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it." 26They took the bull which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any who answered. They leaped about the altar which was made. 27It happened at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, "Cry aloud; for he is a god. Either he is musing, or he has gone aside, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he sleeps and must be awakened." 28They cried aloud, and cut themselves in their way with knives and lances, until the blood gushed out on them. 29It was so, when midday was past, that they prophesied until the time of the offering of the offering; but there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any who regarded. 30Elijah said to all the people, "Come near to me;" and all the people came near to him. He repaired the altar of Yahweh that was thrown down. 31Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of Yahweh came, saying, "Israel shall be your name." 32With the stones he built an altar in the name of Yahweh. He made a trench around the altar, large enough to contain two measures of seed. 33He put the wood in order, and cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood. He said, "Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt offering, and on the wood." 34He said, "Do it a second time;" and they did it the second time. He said, "Do it a third time;" and they did it the third time. 35The water ran around the altar; and he also filled the trench with water. 36It happened at the time of the offering of the offering, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, "Yahweh, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your word. 37Hear me, Yahweh, hear me, that this people may know that you, Yahweh, are God, and that you have turned their heart back again." 38Then the fire of Yahweh fell, and consumed the burnt offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. 39When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces. They said, "Yahweh, he is God! Yahweh, he is God!"
