1 Reyes 17:20 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 17:20

And he cried unto the Lord
Or prayed unto him, as the Targum, with great vehemence and importunity:

and said, O Lord, my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow,
with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?
he pleads his interest in the Lord, and makes use of it as an argument with him to hear his prayer; he observes the character and condition of the woman, a widow, such as the Lord has a compassionate regard for; and he urges the kindness of her to him, with whom he had sojourned so long; and seems to represent the case as an additional evil or affliction to him, as well as to the widow.

18 Entonces ella le reclamó a Elías:—¿Por qué te entrometes, hombre de Dios? ¡Viniste a recordarme mi pecado y a matar a mi hijo!
19 —Dame a tu hijo —contestó Elías.Y quitándoselo del regazo, Elías lo llevó al cuarto de arriba, donde estaba alojado, y lo acostó en su propia cama.
20 Entonces clamó: «SEÑOR mi Dios, ¿también a esta viuda, que me ha dado alojamiento, la haces sufrir matándole a su hijo?»

22 El SEÑOR oyó el clamor de Elías, y el muchacho volvió a la vida.
