1 Kings 17:19-24

19And he said to her, "Give me your son." And he took him from her arms and carried him up into the upper chamber where he lodged, and laid him on his own bed.

20And he cried to the Lord, "O Lord my God, have you brought calamity even upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by killing her son?"

21Then he stretched himself upon the child three times and cried to the Lord, "O Lord my God, let this child's life come into him again."

22And the Lord listened to the voice of Elijah. And the life of the child came into him again, and he revived.

23And Elijah took the child and brought him down from the upper chamber into the house and delivered him to his mother. And Elijah said, "See, your son lives."

24And the woman said to Elijah, "Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is truth."
