I Kings 17:17-23 Christian Standard Bible
…the son of the woman who owned the house became ill. His illness got worse until he stopped breathing. She said to Elijah, âMan of God, what do you have against me? Have you come to call attention to my iniquity so that my son is put to death? â
But Elijah said to her, âGive me your son.â So he took him from her arms, brought him up to the upstairs room where he was staying, and laid him on his own bed. Then he cried out to the Lord and said, âLord my God, have you also brought tragedy on the widow I am staying with by killing her son? â Then he stretched himself out over the boy three times. He cried out to the Lord and said, âLord my God, please let this boyâs life come into him again! â
So the Lord listened to Elijah, and the boyâs life came into him again, and he lived. Then Elijah took the boy, brought him down from the upstairs room into the house, and gave him to his mother. Elijah said, âLook, your son is alive.âÂ

Acts 9:36-41 Christian Standard Bible
In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which is translated Dorcas). She was always doing good works and acts of charity. About that time she became sick and died. After washing her, they placed her in a room upstairs. Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples heard that Peter was there and sent two men to him who urged him, âDonât delay in coming with us.â Peter got up and went with them. When he arrived, they led him to the room upstairs. And all the widows approached him, weeping and showing him the robes and clothes that Dorcas had made while she was with them. Peter sent them all out of the room. He knelt down, prayed, and turning toward the body said, âTabitha, get up.â She opened her eyes, saw Peter, and sat up. He gave her his hand and helped her stand up. He called the saints and widows and presented her alive.Â
