I Kings 17:17-24

17:17. It came to pass after this, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick, and the sickness was very grievous, so that there was no breath left in him.

'''17:18. She said to Elijah: What have I to do with you, you man of God? Have you come to me, that my iniquities should be remembered, and that you should kill my son?'''

'''17:11. Elijah said to her: Give me your son. He took him out of her bosom, and carried him into the upper chamber where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.'''

17:20. He cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord, my God, have you afflicted also the widow, with whom I am after a sort maintained, so as to kill her son?

17:21. He stretched, and measured himself upon the child three times, and cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord, my God, let the soul of this child, I beseech You, return into his body.

17:22. The Lord heard the voice of Elijah: and the soul of the child returned into him, and he revived.
