1 Kings 17:19-24

19He said to her, “Give me your son.” Elijah took him from her arms, carried him to the upstairs room where he was staying, and laid him on his own bed.

20Then he called to the Lord, “Lord my God, have you brought misery on the widow I’m staying with by killing her son?”

21Then Elijah stretched himself over the boy three times and called to the Lord, “Lord my God, please make this child’s life return to him.”

22The Lord heard Elijah’s request, and the child’s life returned to him. He was alive again.

23Elijah took the child, brought him down from the upstairs room of the house, and gave him to his mother. He said, “Look! Your son is alive.”

24The woman said to Elijah, “Now I’m convinced that you are a man of God and that the Lord’s word from your mouth is true.”
