15 She went and acted in accord with the word of Elijah. And he ate, and she and her household ate. And from that day,
16 the jar of flour did not fail, and the bottle of oil was not diminished, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the hand of Elijah.
17 Now it happened that, after these things, the son of the woman who was the mother of the family became ill. And the sickness was very powerful, so that no breath remained in him.
18 Therefore, she said to Elijah: "What is there between you and me, O man of God? Have you entered to me, so that my iniquities would be remembered, and so that you would put to death my son?"
19 And Elijah said to her, "Give your son to me." And he took him from her bosom, and he carried him to an upper room, where he himself was staying. And he placed him on his own bed.
20 And he cried out to the Lord, and he said, "O Lord, my God, have you even afflicted the widow by whom I am, in a sense, sustained, so that you would put to death her son?"
21 And he stretched himself out beside the boy three times. And he cried out to the Lord and said, "O Lord, my God, let the soul of this boy, I beg you, return to his body."
