1 Kings 17:17-23
17Now it cameH1961 about afterH310 theseH428 thingsH1697 that the sonH1121 of the womanH802, the mistressH1172 of the houseH1004, becameH2470 sickH2470; and his sicknessH2483 was soH3966 severeH2389 that there was noH3808 breathH5397 leftH3498 in him.
18So she saidH559 to ElijahH452, “1WhatH4100 do I have to do with you, O 2manH376 of GodH430? 3You have comeH935 to me to bringH2142 my iniquityH5771 to remembranceH2142 and to putH4191 my sonH1121 to deathH4191!”
19He saidH559 to her, “GiveH5414 me your sonH1121.” Then he tookH3947 him from her bosomH2436 and carriedH5927 him up to the upperH5944 roomH5944 whereH834H8033 he was livingH3427, and laidH7901 him on his own bedH4296.
20He calledH7121 to the LordH3068 and saidH559, “O LordH3068 my GodH430, have You alsoH1571 broughtH7489 calamityH7489 to the widowH490 with whomH834 I am 4stayingH1481, by causing her sonH1121 to dieH4191?”
215Then he stretchedH4058 himself upon the childH3206 threeH7969 timesH6471, and calledH7121 to the LordH3068 and saidH559, “O LordH3068 my GodH430, I prayH4994 You, let thisH2088 child’sH3206 lifeH5315 returnH7725 6to him.”
22The LordH3068 heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of ElijahH452, 7and the lifeH5315 of the childH3206 returnedH7725 8to him and he revivedH2421.
23ElijahH452 tookH3947 the childH3206 and broughtH3381 him downH3381 from the upperH5944 roomH5944 into the houseH1004 and gaveH5414 him to his motherH517; and ElijahH452 saidH559, “SeeH7200, your sonH1121 is aliveH2416.”
