1 Kings 17:17-24

[17] And 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. [18] And she said  unto Elijah,  What have I to do with thee, O thou man  of God?  art thou come  my sin  to remembrance,  and to slay  my son?  [19] And 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.  [20] And he cried  and said,  my God,  hast thou also brought evil  upon the widow  with whom I sojourn,  by slaying  her son?  [21] And 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  into him  again.  [22] And the LORD  heard  the voice  of Elijah;  and the soul  of the child  into him  again,  and he revived.  [23] And 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.  [24] And the woman  said  to Elijah,  Now by this  I know  that thou art a man  of God,  and that the word  of the LORD  in thy mouth  is truth.
