Contextual Overview

¹⁸ The boy grew up and one day went out to his father, who was with the grain harvesters. ¹⁹ The boy said to his father, "My head! My head!" The father said to his servant, "Take him to his mother!" ²⁰ The servant took him to his mother, and he lay on his mother's lap until noon. Then he died. ²¹ So she took him up and laid him on Elisha's bed. Then she shut the door and left. ²² She called to her husband, "Send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys. Then I can go quickly to the man of God and return." ²³ The husband said, "Why do you want to go to him today? It isn't the New Moon or the Sabbath day." She said, "It will be all right." ²⁴ Then she saddled the donkey and said to her servant, "Lead on. Don't slow down for me unless I tell you." ²⁵ So she went to Elisha, the man of God, at Mount Carmel. When he saw her coming from far away, he said to his servant Gehazi, "Look, there's the Shunammite woman! ²⁶ Run to meet her and ask, ‘Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is the boy all right?'" She answered, "Everything is all right." ²⁷ Then she came to Elisha at the hill and grabbed his feet. Gehazi came near to pull her away, but Elisha said to him, "Leave her alone. She's very upset, and the Lord has not told me about it. He has hidden it from me."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.
