And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.
The boy was overcome by sudden illness while out in the field with his father. He was carried from the field to his mother in the house. Seated on her knees, he lingered until noon and then died. His death formed the crisis that called forth Elisha's intercession. Through that prayer the lifeless child was restored to life.
