 [18 ](/kjv/1-kings/17/18) And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?
 
 [19 ](/kjv/1-kings/17/19) And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/1-kings/17/20) And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?
 
 [21 ](/kjv/1-kings/17/21) And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child’s soul come into him again.**
 
 [22 ](/kjv/1-kings/17/22) And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/1-kings/17/23) And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/1-kings/17/24) ¶ And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou *art* a man of God, *and* that the word of the LORD in thy mouth *is* truth.
