2 Rois 4:18 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 4:18

And when the child was grown
Perhaps was six or seven years of age, or more:

it fell on a day that he went out to his father to the reapers;
it was harvest time, and the men were reaping the corn in the fields; and his father, though a wealthy man, was with them to direct them, and see they did their business well, as Boaz formerly; and the child went out from the house to the field, to see his father and the reapers, for his recreation and diversion.

2 Rois 4:18 In-Context

16 Et il lui dit: L'année qui vient, en cette même saison, tu embrasseras un fils. Et elle répondit: Non, mon seigneur, homme de Dieu, ne mens point à ta servante!
17 Or cette femme conçut, et enfanta un fils un an après, dans la même saison, comme Élisée le lui avait dit.
18 Et l'enfant étant devenu grand, il arriva qu'il sortit un jour pour aller vers son père, auprès des moissonneurs.
19 Et il dit à son père: Ma tête, ma tête! Et le père dit au serviteur: Porte-le à sa mère.
20 Il le porta donc et l'amena à sa mère; et il demeura sur les genoux de sa mère jusqu'à midi, puis il mourut.
