16 The flour jar did not become empty, and the oil jug did not run dry, according to the word of the Lord He had spoken through Elijah.
17 After this, the son of the woman who owned the house became ill. His illness became very severe until no breath remained in him.
18 She said to Elijah, “Man of God, what do we have in common? Have you come to remind me of my guilt and to kill my son? ”
19 But Elijah said to her, “Give me your son.” So he took him from her arms, brought him up to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his own bed.
20 Then he cried out to the Lord and said, “My Lord God, have You also brought tragedy on the widow I am staying with by killing her son? ”
21 Then he stretched himself out over the boy three times. He cried out to the Lord and said, “My Lord God, please let this boy’s life return to him! ”
22 So the Lord listened to Elijah’s voice, and the boy’s life returned to him, and he lived.
