John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
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.
