In 1 Kings 18, Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to a showdown on Mount Carmel. He gathers the people of Israel and confronts them, asking how long they will waver between God and Baal. The prophets of Baal prepare a sacrifice, but their god does not answer. Elijah then rebuilds the altar of the Lord and offers a sacrifice, calling upon God to send fire from heaven.
