1 Kings 18:38

Then the fire of the Lord fell ,.... An extraordinary fire from God out of heaven, as the effects of it show:

and consumed the burnt sacrifice ; as it had done in former instances, Leviticus 9:24 , and besides this, which is still more extraordinary,

and the wood, and the stones, and the dust ; of the altar, thereby signifying that even such were not to be used any more:

and licked up the water that was in the trench ; around the altar, see 1 Kings 18:32 .
