1 Kings 17:19-24

19But he said to her, “Give me your son.” Then he took him from her 1arms 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 2staying, by causing her son to die?”

213Then 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 4to him.”

22And the Lord listened to the voice of Elijah, 5and the life of the boy returned 6to 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.”

24Then the woman said to Elijah, “7Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is truth.”
