1 KINGS 17:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.”
And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again — Elijah stretches himself on the child three times—a ritual act seeking transfer of life force or prophetic intercession. His plea seeks resurrection.
