U-Eliya wayesethi kubantu bonke: “Sondelani kimi.” Bonke abantu basondela kuye. Wayeselungisa i-althare likaSimakade elalidiliziwe. U-Eliya wathatha amatshe ali-12 njengomumo wezizwana zamadodana kaJakobe, okwakufike kuye izwi likaSimakade, lathi: “Igama lakho lizakuba ngu-Israyeli.” Walakha i-althare ngamatshe egameni likaSimakade, wayesenza umsele ngase-althare nxazonke, olingene namaseya amabili embewu. Wahlela izinkuni, wayihlahlela inkunzi, wayibeka phezu kwezinkuni. Wayesethi: “Gcwalisani izimbiza ezine ngamanzi, niwathele emnikelweni wokushiswa naphezu kwezinkuni.” Wathi: “Kwenzeni ngokwesibili.” Bakwenza. Wayesethi: “Kwenzeni nangokwesithathu.” Baphinda ngokwesithathu. Amanzi agobhoza ngase-althare, nxazonke; wawugcwalisa nomsele ngamanzi. Kwathi ngesikhathi sokunikela, u-Eliya umphrofethi wasondela, wathi: “Simakade Nkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama noka-Isaka noka-Israyeli, namhlanje makwazeke ukuthi Wena unguNkulunkulu kwa-Israyeli, nokuthi mina ngiyinceku yakho, nokuthi ngikwenzile konke lokhu ngezwi lakho. Ngiphendule, Simakade, ngiphendule ukuze laba bantu bazi ukuthi Wena, Simakade unguNkulunkulu, nokuthi uguqukisela kuwe izinhliziyo zabo.” Umlilo kaSimakade wehla, wawuqeda umnikelo wokushiswa, nezinkuni, namatshe, nothuli, waze wakhotha namanzi ayesemseleni. Abantu bonke bakubona lokho bawa ngobuso, bathi: “USimakade nguye onguNkulunkulu; uSimakade nguye onguNkulunkulu.”
