He said to her, “Give me your son.” Then he took him from her arms, carried him up to the upper room where he was staying and laid him on his own bed.
So she said to Elijah, “What do I have to do with you, man of God? Have you come to me to remind me of my sin and kill my son?”
He cried out to Adonai and said, “Adonai my God, have You brought such evil even on the widow with whom I am staying, by causing her son to die?”
Please, let’s make a little walled room on the roof, and let’s put there a bed, a table, a chair, and a lampstand for him. Then whenever he comes to us, he can stay there.”
She then went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, shut the door on him and went out.
When Elisha entered the house, there was the child, dead and laying on his bed.
In those days, she became ill and died. When they had washed her for burial, they placed her in an upstairs room.
