1 Kings 17:19-24

19He said to her, “Give me your son.” Then he took him from her bosom and carried him up to the upper room where he was living, and laid him on his own bed.

20He called to the Lord and said, “O Lord my God, have You also brought calamity to the widow with whom I am 1staying, by causing her son to die?”

212Then he stretched himself upon the child three times, and called to the Lord and said, “O Lord my God, I pray You, let this child’s life return 3to him.”

22The Lord heard the voice of Elijah, 4and the life of the child returned 5to him and he revived.

23Elijah 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 is alive.”

24Then the woman said to Elijah, “6Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is truth.”
