¹⁷Afterwards, the son of the woman who owned the house got sick. He got so sick that finally no life was left in him. ¹⁸The woman asked Elijah, “What do you and I have in common, man of God?Did you come here to remind me of my sin and kill my son?”

¹⁹He said to her, “Give me your son.” Elijah took him from her arms, carried him to the upstairs room where he was staying, and laid him on his own bed. ²⁰Then he called to the Lord, “Lord my God, have you brought misery on the widow I’m staying with by killing her son?” ²¹Then Elijah stretched himself over the boy three times and called to the Lord, “Lord my God, please make this child’s life return to him.” ²²The Lord heard Elijah’s request, and the child’s life returned to him. He was alive again.

²³Elijah took the child, brought him down from the upstairs room of the house, and gave him to his mother. He said, “Look! Your son is alive.”

²⁴The woman said to Elijah, “Now I’m convinced that you are a man of God and that the Lord’s word from your mouth is true.”
