"Now after this, the son of the woman of the house became ill, so ill that there was no breath in him."
— 1 Kings 17:17, Bible in Basic English
“And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.”
For this is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel: The store of meal will not come to an end, and the bottle will never be without oil, till the day when the Lord sends rain on the earth.
So she went and did as Elijah said; and she and he and her family had food for a long time.
The store of meal did not come to an end, and the bottle was never without oil, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Elijah.
Now after this, the son of the woman of the house became ill, so ill that there was no breath in him.
And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with you, O man of God? have you come to put God in mind of my sin, and to put my son to death?
And he said to her, Give your son to me. And lifting him out of her arms, he took him up to his room and put him down on his bed.
And crying to the Lord he said, O Lord my God, have you sent evil even on the widow whose guest I am, by causing her son's death?
