1 Kings 17:17-23
17After this the son of the woman who owned the house got sick. His illness was so severe he could no longer breathe.
18She asked Elijah, “Why, prophet, have you come to me to confront me with my sin and kill my son?”
19He said to her, “Hand me your son.” He took him from her arms, carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him down on his bed.
20Then he called out to the Lord, “O Lord, my God, are you also bringing disaster on this widow I am staying with by killing her son?”
21He stretched out over the boy three times and called out to the Lord, “O Lord, my God, please let this boy’s breath return to him.”
22The Lord answered Elijah’s prayer; the boy’s breath returned to him and he lived.
23Elijah took the boy, brought him down from the upper room to the house, and handed him to his mother. Elijah then said, “See, your son is alive!”
