1 Kings 17:17-23

17Now it happened after these things that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became sick; and his 1condition became very grave, until at the end 2he was no longer breathing.

18So she said to Elijah, “34Why is my business any of yours, you 5man of God? Yet you have come to me to bring my wrongdoing to remembrance, and to put my son to death!”

19But he said to her, “Give me your son.” Then he took him from her 6arms and carried him up to the upstairs room where he was living, and laid him on his own bed.

20And he called to the Lord and said, “Lord, my God, have You also brought catastrophe upon the widow with whom I am 7staying, by causing her son to die?”

218Then he stretched himself out over the boy three times, and called to the Lord and said, “Lord, my God, please, let this boy’s life return 9to him.”

22And the Lord listened to the voice of Elijah, 10and the life of the boy returned 11to him and he revived.

23Elijah then took the boy and brought him down from the upstairs room into the house and gave him to his mother; and Elijah said, “See, your son is alive.”
