17And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the
woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so
sore, that there was no breath left in him. 18And she said unto Elijah,
What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to
call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?
19And
he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom,
and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his
own bed. 20And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast
thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying
her son?
21And he stretched himself upon
the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my
God, I pray thee, let this child’s soul come into him again.
22And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
23And
Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the
house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said,
See, thy son liveth.
