New International Version
29 Midday passed, and they continued their frantic prophesying until the time for the evening sacrifice.(A) But there was no response, no one answered, no one paid attention.(B)
30 Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come here to me.” They came to him, and he repaired the altar(C) of the Lord, which had been torn down. 31 Elijah took twelve stones, one for each of the tribes descended from Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying, “Your name shall be Israel.”(D)
