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.'
22 And the Lord heeded the voice of Elijah. And the soul of the boy returned to him, and he revived.
23 And Elijah took the boy, and he brought him down from the upper room to the lower part of the house. And he gave him to his mother. And he said to her, 'See, your son lives.'
