SCRIPTURE

"And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to his servant, Carry him to his mother." — 2 Kings 4:19 (ASV)

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.
