17After this, the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became sick. His illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.
18She said to Elijah, "What have I to do with you, man of God? Have you come to bring my sin to remembrance and to kill my son?"
19Elijah said to her, "Give me your son." He took the boy from her arms, brought him up to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his bed.
20Then he cried out to the LORD and said, "O LORD my God, have You also brought tragedy upon the widow I am staying with by causing her son to die?"
21Elijah stretched himself out over the child three times and cried out to the LORD, "O LORD my God, please let the boy’s life return to him."
22The LORD heard Elijah’s prayer, and the boy’s life returned to him, and he lived.
23Elijah took the boy, brought him down from the upper room into the house, and gave him to his mother. Elijah said, 'Look, your son is alive.'
