15She did what Elijah had told her. So she, Elijah, and her family had food for a long time. 16The jar of flour never became empty, and the jug always contained olive oil, as the LORD had promised through Elijah. 17Afterwards, the son of the woman who owned the house got sick. He got so sick that finally no life was left in him. 18The woman asked Elijah, "What do you and I have in common, man of God? Did you come here to remind me of my sin and kill my son?" 19He said to her, "Give me your son." Elijah took him from her arms, carried him to the upstairs room where he was staying, and laid him on his own bed. 20Then he called to the LORD, "LORD my God, have you brought misery on the widow I'm staying with by killing her son?" 21Then Elijah stretched himself over the boy three times and called to the LORD, "LORD my God, please make this child's life return to him." 22The LORD heard Elijah's request, and the child's life returned to him. He was alive again. 23Elijah took the child, brought him down from the upstairs room of the house, and gave him to his mother. He said, "Look! Your son is alive." 24The woman said to Elijah, "Now I'm convinced that you are a man of God and that the word of the LORD from your mouth is true."
