Elijah Revives the Widow’s Son

17 Now it happened after these things that the son of the woman who owned the house became sick. And his sickness was so1 serious that there was no breath left in him.  
18 So she said to Elijah, a“What have I to do with you, O man of God? Have you come to me to bring my sin to remembrance, and to kill my son?”  
19 And he said to her, “Give me your son.” So he took him out of her arms and carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his own bed.
20 Then he cried out to the Lord and said, “O Lord my God, have You also brought tragedy on the widow with whom I lodge, by killing her son?”
21 aAnd he stretched himself out on the child three times, and cried out to the Lord and said, “O Lord my God, I pray, let this child’s soul come back to him.”  
22 Then the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came back to him, and he arevived.  
23 And Elijah took the child and brought him down from the upper room into the house, and gave him to his mother. And Elijah said, “See, your son lives!”
24 Then the woman said to Elijah, “Now by this aI know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is the truth.”
