Melachim Bais 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.

Melachim Bais 4:20 In-Context

18 The yeled grew, and it happened one day, that he went out to Aviv to the kotzerim (harvesters, reapers).

19 And he said unto Aviv, My rosh, my rosh. And he said to the na’ar, Carry him to immo.

20 And when he had lifted him, and brought him to immo, he sat on her birkayim (knees) till tzohorayim, and then died.

21 And she went up, and laid him on the mittat Ish HaElohim, and shut [the door] behind her and went out.

22 And she called unto her ish, and said, Send me now, please, one of the ne’arim, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the Ish HaElohim, and return.
