The altar also was rent
 Split into two parts perhaps, and one fell one way, and the other another; 
 and the ashes poured out from the altar;
 the ashes of the burnt offering, these were spilled on the ground; all which was done without any outward force, or any visible means thereof: 
 according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the
 Lord;
 by his direction and order.
