SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:17
¶ Después de estas cosas aconteció que cayó enfermo el hijo de la señora de la casa, y la enfermedad fue tan grave, que no quedó en él aliento.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 17:17
Verse 17. There was no breath left in him] He ceased to breathe and died.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. And it came to pass after these things , etc.] Not only after the conversation that passed between the prophet, and the widow, but after they had lived together many days, a year or years, upon the miraculous provision made for them: that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick ; that is, the son of the widow woman in whose house the prophet dwelt; the Jews say this woman was the mother of Jonah, and that he was this son of her’s: and his sickness was so sore that there was no breath left in him : it was a sickness unto death, it issued in it; for that he was really dead appears from all that follows.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 17-24 - Neither faith nor obedience shut out afflictions and death. The chil being dead, the mother spake to the prophet, rather to give vent to he sorrow, than in hope of relief. When God removes our comforts from us he remembers our sins against us, perhaps the sins of our youth, thoug long since past. When God remembers our sins against us, he designs to teach us to remember them against ourselves, and to repent of them Elijah's prayer was doubtless directed by the Holy Spirit. The chil revived. See the power of prayer, and the power of Him who hear prayer __________________________________________________________________
