Now it happened after these things that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became sick; and his ^(F1)condition became very grave, until at the end ^(F2)he was no longer breathing.

So she said to Elijah, "^(F1)(C1)Why is my business any of yours, you ^(C2)man of God? Yet you have come to me to bring my wrongdoing to remembrance, and to put my son to death!"

But he said to her, "Give me your son." Then he took him from her ^(F1)arms and carried him up to the upstairs room where he was living, and laid him on his own bed.

And he called to the LORD and said, "LORD, my God, have You also brought catastrophe upon the widow with whom I am ^(F1)staying, by causing her son to die?"

^(C1)Then he stretched himself out over the boy three times, and called to the LORD and said, "LORD, my God, please, let this boy's life return ^(F1)to him."

And the LORD listened to the voice of Elijah, ^(C1)and the life of the boy returned ^(F1)to him and he revived.

Elijah then took the boy and brought him down from the upstairs room into the house and gave him to his mother; and Elijah said, "See, your son is alive."

Then the woman said to Elijah, "^(C1)Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in your mouth is truth."
