2 Kings 4:20 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 4:20

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.

19 ait patri suo caput meum caput meum at ille dixit puero tolle et duc eum ad matrem suam
20 qui cum tulisset et adduxisset eum ad matrem suam posuit eum illa super genua sua usque ad meridiem et mortuus est
21 ascendit autem et conlocavit eum super lectulum hominis Dei et clusit ostium et egressa
