Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah,.... In prayer, and answered it:
and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived; this is the first instance of anyone being raised from the dead; this Satan has imitated; hence the many fabulous stories with the Heathens of persons being raised to life after death k.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 17:22. And the soul — × ×¤×© nephesh, of the child came into him again, ×¢× ×§×¨×× al kirbo, into the midst of him; and he revived, ××× vaiyechi, and he became alive. Did he not become alive from the circumstance of the immaterial principle coming again into him?
Although ר×× ruach is sometimes put for the breath, yet × ×¤×© generally means the immortal spirit, and where it seems to refer to animal life alone, it is only such a life as is the immediate and necessary effect of the presence of the immortal spirit.
The words and mode of expression here appear to me a strong proof, not only of the existence of an immortal and immaterial spirit in man, but also that that spirit can and does exist in a separate state from the body. It is here represented as being in the midst of the child, like a spring in the centre of a machine, which gives motion to every part, and without which the whole would stand still.
