Contextual Overview
18The child grew and one day went out to his father and the harvesters. 19Suddenly he complained to his father, “My head! My head!” 20So he picked him up and took him to his mother. The child sat on her lap until noon and then died. 21She went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, shut him in, and left. 22She summoned her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, so I can hurry to the man of God and come back again.” 23But he said, “Why go to him today? It’s not a New Moon or a Sabbath.” 24Then she saddled the donkey and said to her servant, “Go fast; don’t slow the pace for me unless I tell you.” 25So she came to the man of God at Mount Carmel. 26Run out to meet her and ask, ‘Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your son all right?’” 27When she came up to the man of God at the mountain, she clung to his feet. Gehazi came to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone—she is in severe anguish, and the Lord has hidden it from me. He hasn’t told me.”

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.
