Or did you come here only to remind me of my sins and to make my son die?" 19 Elijah said to her, "Give me your son." He took the boy from her and carried him upstairs. He laid him on the bed in the room where he was staying. 20 Then Elijah cried out to the Lord . He said, " Lord my God, this widow is letting me stay in her house. Will you do this bad thing to her? Will you cause her son to die?" 21 Then Elijah lay on top of the boy three times. He prayed, " Lord my God, let this boy live again!" 22 The Lord answered Elijah's prayer. The boy began breathing again and was alive. 23 Elijah carried the boy downstairs, gave him to his mother, and said, "Look, your son is alive!" 24 The woman answered, "Now I know that you really are a man from God. I know that the Lord really speaks through you!"

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass after these things,.... Not only after the conversation that passed between the prophet, and the widow, but after they had lived together many days, a year or years, upon the miraculous provision made for them:
that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; that is, the son of the widow woman in whose house the prophet dwelt; the Jews say h this woman was the mother of Jonah, and that he was this son of her's:
and his sickness was so sore that there was no breath left in him: it was a sickness unto death, it issued in it; for that he was really dead appears from all that follows.
h Pirke Eliezer, c. 33.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 17:17. There was no breath left in him — He ceased to breathe and died.
