2 Re 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.

2 Re 4:20 In-Context

18 Ed essendo il fanciullo divenuto grande, avvenne un giorno che egli uscì fuori a suo padre, appresso dei mietitori.
19 E disse a suo padre: Oimè! il capo, oimè! il capo. E il padre disse al servitore: Portalo a sua madre.
20 Ed egli lo portò, e lo recò a sua madre. Ed essendo dimorato sopra le ginocchia di essa fino a mezzodì, morì.
21 Allora ella salì, e lo coricò sopra il letto dell’uomo di Dio; poi chiuse l’uscio sopra lui, e se ne uscì fuori;
22 e mandò a dire al suo marito: Deh! mandami uno dei servitori, ed una delle asine, acciocchè io corra fino all’uomo di Dio; poi ritornerò.
