1 Kings 17:17-24 NAS
Now it came
about after these things that the son of the woman, the mistress of the
house, became sick; and his sickness was so severe that there was no
breath left in him. So she said to Elijah, "What do I have to
do with you, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my iniquity
to remembrance and to put my son to death!" He 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. He called to the Lord and said, "O Lord my God, have You
also brought calamity to the widow with whom I am staying, by causing her
son to die?" The 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 to him." The Lord heard the voice
of Elijah, and the life of the child returned to him and he revived.
Elijah 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." Then the woman said to Elijah, "Now I know that
you are a man of God and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is
truth."
