Quoting Commentary for I Kings 17:19

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אֵלֶ֖יהָ תְּנִֽי־לִ֣י אֶת־בְּנֵ֑ךְ וַיִּקָּחֵ֣הוּ מֵחֵיקָ֗הּ וַֽיַּעֲלֵ֙הוּ֙ אֶל־הָעֲלִיָּ֗ה אֲשֶׁר־הוּא֙ יֹשֵׁ֣ב שָׁ֔ם וַיַּשְׁכִּבֵ֖הוּ עַל־מִטָּתֽוֹ׃

And he said unto her: ‘Give me thy son.’ And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the upper chamber, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.

From David to Destruction

It is a bold question that is most definitely not addressed by the classic Mefarshim. For a year, Eliyahu HaNavi lives in the widow's attic mentioned in Melachim I 17:19. The question, accordingly, is that this seems to constitute a forbidden living arrangement, as it violates Yichud, the prohibition of seclusion.
