When midday was past, they prophesied until the time of the evening offering; but there was no voice, no answer, and nobody paid attention.
Elijah said to all the people, “Come near to me!”; and all the people came near to him.
He repaired the LORD’s altar that had been thrown down.
Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the LORD’s word came, saying, “Israel shall be your name.”
With the stones he built an altar in the LORD’s name.
He made a trench around the altar large enough to contain two seahs of seed.
