in
I Kings 17:17-23 |
I Kings 17:17-23
After this the son of the woman, the mistress
of the house, became ill; and his illness was so
severe that there was no breath left in him. 18
And she said to Elijah, “What have you against
me, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my
sin to remembrance, and to cause the death of my
son!” 19 And he said to her, “Give me
your son.” And he took him from her bosom,
and carried him up into the upper chamber, where
he lodged, and laid him upon his own bed. 20 And
he cried to the Lord, “O Lord my God, hast
thou brought calamity even upon the widow with whom
I sojourn, by slaying her son?” 21 Then he
stretched himself upon the child three times, and
cried to the Lord, “O Lord my God, let this
child's soul come into him again.” 22 And
the Lord hearkened to the voice of Elijah; and the
soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
23 And Elijah took the child, and brought him down
from the upper chamber into the house, and delivered
him to his mother; and Elijah said, “See,
your son lives.” |
