After this the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became ill’, his illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him. She then said to Elijah, “What have you against me, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to remembrance, and to cause the death of my son!”
But he said to her, “Give me your son.” He took him from her bosom, carried him up into the upper chamber where he was lodging, and laid him on his own bed. He cried out to the LORD, “O LORD my God, have you brought calamity even upon the window with whom I am staying, by killing her son?” Then he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried out to the LORD, “O LORD my God, let this child’s life come into him again.’
The LORD listened to the voice of Elijah; the life of child came into him again and he revived, Elijah took the child, brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and gave him to his mother. 1Kings 17:17-23. Amen.
