2 Kings 4:19

And he said unto his father, my head, my head
After he had been some time with him, he complained of a pain in his head, which might be owing, as Abarbinel thinks, to the sun's beating upon it, being harvest time, and hot weather; and the pain being exceeding great and vehement, he repeated his complaint, see ( Jeremiah 4:19 )

and he said to a lad, carry him home to his mother;
his father gave orders to a lad that attended the reapers to have him home to his mother, that she might give him something to ease him of his pain.

2 Kings 4:19 In-Context

17 The woman conceived and gave birth to a son at the same time the following year, as Elisha had promised her.

18 The child grew and one day went out to his father and the harvesters.

19 [Suddenly], he complained to his father, "My head! My head!" His father told his servant, "Carry him to his mother."

20 So he picked him up and took him to his mother. The child sat on her lap until noon and then died.

21 Then she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, shut him in, and left.
