Verse 19 is found in chapter 17 of 1 Kings. The widow’s son dies, and she interprets the tragedy as a possible consequence of her sin. Elijah cries out to the Lord, and the child returns to life. The divine response confirms to the woman that Elijah is truly a man of God and that the Lord’s word in his mouth is truth. The miracle deepens the theme of life and death under the authority of Israel’s God.

Él le respondió: «Dame a tu hijo». Lo tomó de sus brazos, lo subió a la habitación de arriba donde se alojaba y lo acostó sobre su cama.
Il lui répondit: Donne-moi ton fils. Et il le prit du sein de la femme, le monta dans la chambre haute où il demeurait, et le coucha sur son lit.
Ma egli le disse: Dammi il tuo figliuolo. Ed egli lo prese dal seno di quella donna, e lo portò nella camera nella quale egli stava, e lo coricò sopra il suo letto;
E ele disse: Dá-me o teu filho. E ele o tomou do seu regaço, e o levou para cima, ao quarto, onde ele mesmo habitava, e o deitou em sua cama,
