1 Kings 18:31

Elijah And The Prophets Of Baal On Mount Carmel

³⁰ Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come near to me.” So all the people approached him. And he repaired and rebuilt the [old] altar of the Lord that had been torn down [by Jezebel]. ³¹ Then Elijah took twelve stones in accordance with the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying, “Israel shall be your name.” ³² So with the stones Elijah built an altar in the name of the Lord. He made a trench around the altar large enough to hold two measures of seed.
