Helped carry the water. Still doesn’t know why.
Came up Mount Carmel with everyone else when the king called us. Ended up one of the ones fetching water.
IsraelFirst seen 1 Kings 18:20
Now it’s Elijah’s turn. He rebuilt the LORD’s altar that had been torn down, twelve stones, one for each tribe, and dug a trench round it. Then he had us pour four big jars of water over the bull and the wood. Then again. Then a third time, for real. It’s soaked. The trench is full.

Honestly, I didn’t know what to say.

And dancing round the altar. Leaping, really.

Asleep. He literally said asleep.

No answer. Nobody listening. It’s nearly time for the evening sacrifice.
Elijah’s called everyone over. Come closer, he says. There’s an old altar to the LORD up here that’s been torn down, and he’s putting it back together.

Twelve stones. One for each tribe.
Fill four big jars, he says, and pour them over the bull and the wood. So we did.

Do it again, he says. So we did it again.

And a third time.

It’s running down the sides. The trench is full.
