Judges 3:16-25 -_“Meanwhile E´hud made a sword for himself, and it had two edges, its length being a cubit. Then he girded it underneath his garment upon his right thigh. And he proceeded to present the tribute to Eg´lon the king of Mo´ab. Now Eg´lon was a very fat man. And it came about that when he had finished presenting the tribute, he at once sent the people away, the bearers of the tribute. And he himself turned back at the quarries that were at Gil´gal, and he proceeded to say: “I have a secret word for you, O king.” So he said: “Keep silence!” With that all those who were standing by him went on out from him. And E´hud came to him as he was sitting in his cool roof chamber that he had to himself. And E´hud went on to say: “A word of God I have for you.” At that he rose up from his throne. Then E´hud thrust in his left hand and took the sword off his right thigh and plunged it into his belly. And the handle kept going in also after the blade so that the fat closed in over the blade, for he did not draw the sword out of his belly, and the fecal matter began to come out. And E´hud proceeded to go out through the air hole, but he closed the doors of the roof chamber behind him and locked them. And he himself went out.
And his servants came and began looking, and there the doors of the roof chamber were locked. So they said: “He is just easing nature in the cool interior room.” And they kept waiting until they were ashamed, and, look! there was no one opening the doors of the roof chamber. At this they took the key and opened them, and, look! their lord was fallen to the earth dead!”

1 Kings 8:21-27 - "Then E·li´jah approached all the people and said: “How long will you be limping upon two different opinions? If Jehovah is the true God, go following him; but if Ba´al is, go following him.” And the people did not say a word in answer to him. And E·li´jah went on to say to the people: “I myself have been left as a prophet of Jehovah, I alone, while the prophets of Ba´al are four hundred and fifty men. Now let them give us two young bulls, and let them choose for themselves one young bull and cut it in pieces and put it upon the wood, but they should not put fire to it. And I myself shall dress the other young bull, and I must place it upon the wood, but I shall not put fire to it. And you must call upon the name of your god, and I, for my part, shall call upon the name of Jehovah; and it must occur that the true God that answers by fire is the true God.” To this all the people answered and said: “The thing is good.”
E·li´jah now said to the prophets of Ba´al: “Choose for yourselves one young bull and dress it first, because you are the majority; and call upon the name of your god, but you must not put fire to it.” Accordingly they took the young bull that he gave them. Then they dressed it, and they kept calling upon the name of Ba´al from morning till noon, saying: “O Ba´al, answer us!” But there was no voice, and there was no one answering. And they kept limping around the altar that they had made. And it came about at noon that E·li´jah began to mock them and say: “Call at the top of your voice, for he is a god; for he must be concerned with a matter, and he has excrement and has to go to the privy. Or maybe he is asleep and ought to wake up!”
…
38_At that the fire of Jehovah came falling and went eating up the burnt offering and the pieces of wood and the stones and the dust, and the water that was in the trench it licked up. 39_When all the people saw it, they immediately fell upon their faces and said: “Jehovah is the true God! Jehovah is the true God!” 40_Then E·li´jah said to them: “Seize the prophets of Ba´al! Do not let a single one of them escape!” At once they seized them, and E·li´jah then brought them down to the torrent valley of Ki´shon and slaughtered them there.
(interestingly, the name Ba´al [though there were several - Baal-peor, Baal-hermon, Baal-hazor, Baal-zephon, Bamoth-baal, etc.] or Ba·al´ze·bub means ‘owner (lord) of the dung’, similarly Be·el´ze·bub (another name for the devil) means ‘owner (lord) of the flies’. so literally, baal worship was devil worship in a disguised form)

At the appointed time I shall return to you, next year at this time, and Sarah will have a son.” _But Sarah began to deny it, saying: “I did not laugh!” For she was afraid.
