17:20 Then he called out to the Lord, “O Lord, my God, are you also bringing disaster on this widow I am staying with by killing her son?”
17:21 He stretched out over the boy three times and called out to the Lord, “O Lord, my God, please let this boy’s breath return to him.”
17:22 The Lord answered Elijah’s prayer; the boy’s breath returned to him and he lived.
17:23 Elijah took the boy, brought him down from the upper room to the house, and handed him to his mother. Elijah then said, “See, your son is alive!”
17:24 The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a prophet and that the Lord really does speak through you.” 1
