Commentary
And the water ran round about the altar,.... There being such a large effusion of it on it;
and he filled the trench also with water; which surrounded the altar, so that it seemed impracticable that any fire should kindle upon it; and this gave full proof and demonstration there could be no collusion in this matter.
