1 Kings 17:23 Context
20And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son? 21And 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. 22And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived. 23And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth. 24And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in thy mouth is truth.

Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 17:23
17:21 Come into him - By which it is evident, that the soul was goneout of his body, this was a great request; but Elijah was encouraged tomake it; by his zeal for God's honour, and by the experience which he hadof his prevailing power with God in prayer.
17:22 Into him again - This plainly supposes the existence of the soulin a state of separation, and consequently its immortality: probablyGod might design by this miracle to give an evidence hereof, for theencouragement of his suffering people.
