1 Kings 18:39 -

And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces [As in Le 1 Kings 9:24 ; 2 Chronicles 7:3 ; cf. Numbers 22:31 ; Joshua 5:14 ; Revelation 11:16 . They recognized in the fire, that is to say, the token of the Divine Presence]: and they said, The Lord [ Jehovah . The connexion of this verse with the three verses preceding is obscured by our translation], he is the God; the Lord, he is the God. [The echo of verse 24. The Hebrew words are the same. Stanley remarks that it is as if (by a slight inversion) they turned "the name of the prophet himself into a war-cry, 'Eli-Jah-hu.'"]
