And now I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it and die."And Elijah said to her, "Do not fear; go and do as you have said. But first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterward make something for yourself and your son.For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, 'The jar of flour shall not be spent, and the jug of oil shall not be empty, until the day that the Lord sends rain upon the earth.'"And she went and did as Elijah said.

You have come to me to bring my sin to remembrance and to cause the death of my son!"And he said to her, "Give me your son." And he took him from her arms and carried him up into the upper chamber where he lodged, and laid him on his own bed.And he cried to the Lord, "O Lord my God, have you brought calamity even upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by killing her son?"Then he stretched himself upon the child three times and cried to the Lord, "O Lord my God, let this child's life come into him again."And the Lord listened to the voice of Elijah. And the life of the child came into him again, and he revived.And Elijah took the child and brought him down from the upper chamber into the house and delivered him to his mother. And Elijah said, "See, your son lives."And the woman said to Elijah, "Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is truth."
