2 Kings 4:19
“He said to his father, “My head! My head!” He said to his servant, “Carry him to his mother.””
What does 2 Kings 4:19 mean?
A young boy has suddenly complained of a terrible headache while out in the fields with his father and a servant. The father immediately recognizes something is seriously wrong and tells the servant to bring the child to his mother, Elisha's companion (the Shunnamite woman), hoping she can help. It's a moment of crisis, the kind where a parent knows instinctively that their child needs comfort and care right away. What follows in this story is one of the Bible's most tender accounts of God's healing power and a mother's desperate love.
