19. Elijah said to her, “Give me your son.” So Elijah took the boy from her and carried him upstairs. Elijah laid the boy on the bed in the room where he was staying.
20. Then he prayed to the Lord. He said, “Lord my God, this widow is letting me stay in her house. Why have you done this terrible thing to her? Why have you caused her son to die?”
21. Then Elijah lay on top of the boy three times. Elijah prayed to the Lord, “Lord my God, let this boy live again!”
22. The Lord answered Elijah’s prayer. The boy began breathing again, and he was alive.
23. Elijah carried the boy downstairs. He gave the boy to his mother and said, “See! Your son is alive!”
24. The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know you really are a man from God. I know that the Lord truly speaks through you!”
