1 Kings 17:19 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 17:19

And he said unto her, give me thy son, and he took him out of
her bosom
Where she had laid him, mourning over him; from thence the prophet took him with her leave:

and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his
own bed;
an upper room, which was his bedchamber; hither he carried him, that he might be alone, and use the greater freedom both in his expressions and gestures.

17 Afterwards, the son of the woman who owned the house got sick. He got so sick that finally no life was left in him.
18 The 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?"
19 He 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.
20 Then he called to the LORD, "LORD my God, have you brought misery on the widow I'm staying with by killing her son?"
21 Then 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."
