1 Kings 18:38 in Context — 1 Kings 18
36 Au moment de la présentation de l’offrande, Élie, le prophète, s’avança et dit: Éternel, Dieu d’Abraham, d’Isaac et d’Israël! Que l’on sache aujourd’hui que tu es Dieu en Israël, que je suis ton serviteur, et que j’ai fait toutes ces choses par ta parole!
37 Réponds-moi, Éternel, réponds-moi, afin que ce peuple reconnaisse que c’est toi, Éternel, qui es Dieu, et que c’est toi qui ramènes leur cœur!
38 Et le feu de l’Éternel tomba, et il consuma l’holocauste, le bois, les pierres et la terre, et il absorba l’eau qui était dans le fossé.
39 Quand tout le peuple vit cela, ils tombèrent sur leur visage et dirent: C’est l’Éternel qui est Dieu! C’est l’Éternel qui est Dieu!
40 Saisissez les prophètes de Baal, leur dit Élie; qu’aucun d’eux n’échappe! Et ils les saisirent. Élie les fit descendre au torrent de Kison, où il les égorgea.
