SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:20
y clamando al SEÑOR, dijo: SEÑOR Dios mío, ¿aun a la viuda en cuya casa yo estoy hospedado has afligido, matándole su hijo?
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. And he cried unto the Lord , etc.] Or prayed unto him, as the Targum, with great vehemence and importunity: and said, O Lord, my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow, with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son ? he pleads his interest in the Lord, and makes use of it as an argument with him to hear his prayer; he observes the character and condition of the woman, a widow, such as the Lord has a compassionate regard for; and he urges the kindness of her to him, with whom he had sojourned so long; and seems to represent the case as an additional evil or affliction to him, as well as to the widow.
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 __________________________________________________________________
