And the king sware, and said, As Jehovah liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

That Jehovah may establish his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.

if they return unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies, who carried them captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:

And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.

And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto Jehovah, and said, O Jehovah my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again.

And Jehovah hearkened unto the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
