2 Kings 4:19
"And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

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 Jer 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.
