1 Kings 18:37

³⁵ So the water ran down around the altar and even filled the trench.

³⁶ At the time of the evening sacrifice, Elijah the prophet approached the altar and said, “O LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day 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 that this people will know that You, the LORD, are God, and that You have turned their hearts back again.”

³⁸ Then the fire of the LORD fell and consumed the sacrifice, the wood, the stones, and the dust, and it licked up the water in the trench.

³⁹ When all the people saw this, they fell facedown and said, “The LORD, He is God! The LORD, He is God!”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
