Contextual Overview

18 And, when the child was grown, it came to pass, on a certain day, that he went out unto his father, unto the reapers; 19 and he said unto his father - My head! my head! So he said unto the young man, Carry him to his mother. 20 And, when he had carried him, and brought him in unto his mother, he sat on her knees until noon, and then died. 21 And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, - and shut him in, and then went out. 22 And she called unto her husband, and said - Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, - that I may run unto the man of God, and return! 23 And he said - Wherefore art thou going unto him, to-day, neither new moon nor sabbath? And she said - Peace! 24 Then saddled she the ass, and said unto her young man - Lead on, and go forward, - do not slacken, for my sake, the riding, except I have bidden thee. 25 So she went her way, and came unto the man of God, unto Mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her, opposite, that he said unto Gehazi young man, Lo! this Shunammitess! 26 Now, run, I pray thee, to meet her, and say to her - Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she said, Well! 27 But, when she came unto the man of God, on the mount, she caught hold of his feet, - and Gehazi drew near to thrust her away, when the man of God said - Let her alone! for, her life, is embittered to her, howbeit, Yahweh, hath hidden it from me, and hath not told me.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother,.... The lad led him home, and delivered him to his mother:

he sat on her knees till noon, and then died; out of her great affection, she took him on her knees, and laid his head in her bosom to sooth the pain, and in this posture he continued until the middle of the day, and then expired; by which it appears it was in the morning when he went into the field, and when the sun was pretty high, and beat strongly on him; which, it may be, produced a fever, and which issued in his death.
