Then Elijah said to all the people,“ Come near me.” So all the people approached him. Then he repaired the Lord’s altar that had been torn down:Elijah took 12 stones— according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying,“ Israel will be your name”—and he built an altar with the stones in the name of Yahweh. Then he made a trench around the altar large enough to hold about four gallons.Next, he arranged the wood, cut up the bull, and placed it on the wood. He said,“ Fill four water pots with water and pour it on the offering to be burned and on the wood.”Then he said,“ A second time!” and they did it a second time. And then he said,“ A third time!” and they did it a third time.So the water ran all around the altar; he even filled the trench with water.At the time for offering the evening sacrifice, Elijah the prophet approached the altar and said,“ Yahweh, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, today let it be known that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and that at Your word I have done all these things.Answer me, Lord! Answer me so that this people will know that You, Yahweh, are God and that You have turned their hearts back.”Then Yahweh’s fire fell and consumed the burnt offering, the wood, the stones, and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench.

1 Samuel 7 9-1 Samuel 7 17
Then Samuel took a young lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the Lord. He cried out to the Lord on behalf of Israel, and the Lord answered him.Samuel was offering the burnt offering as the Philistines drew near to fight against Israel. The Lord thundered loudly against the Philistines that day and threw them into such confusion that they fled before Israel.Then the men of Israel charged out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines striking them down all the way to a place below Beth-car.Afterward, Samuel took a stone and set it upright between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, explaining,“ The Lord has helped us to this point.”So the Philistines were subdued and did not invade Israel’s territory again. The Lord’s hand was against the Philistines all of Samuel’s life.The cities from Ekron to Gath, which they had taken from Israel, were restored; Israel even rescued their surrounding territories from Philistine control. There was also peace between Israel and the Amorites.Samuel judged Israel throughout his life.Every year he would go on a circuit to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah and would judge Israel at all these locations.Then he would return to Ramah because his home was there, he judged Israel there, and he built an altar to the Lord there.
