1 Kings 17:17-22

Elijah Raises the Widow’s Son

17 After this the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became ill. And his illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him. 18 And she said to Elijah, ^a“What have you against me, O ^bman of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to remembrance and to cause the death of my son!” 19 And he said to her, “Give me your son.” And he took him from her arms and carried him up into the upper chamber where he lodged, and laid him on his own bed. 20 And he cried to the Lord, “O Lord my God, have you brought calamity even upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by killing her son?” 21 ^cThen he stretched himself upon the child three times and cried to the Lord, “O Lord my God, let this child’s life ^{▼▼Or soul; also verse 22} come into him again.” 22 And the Lord listened to the voice of Elijah. And the life of the child came into him again, and ^ehe revived.
