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 when the child was grown,.... Perhaps was six or seven years of age, or more:
it fell on a day that he went out to his father to the reapers; it was harvest time, and the men were reaping the corn in the fields; and his father, though a wealthy man, was with them to direct them, and see they did their business well, as Boaz formerly; and the child went out from the house to the field, to see his father and the reapers, for his recreation and diversion.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 4:18. When the child was grown — We know not of what age he was, very likely four or six, if not more years; for he could go out to the reapers in the harvest field, converse, &c.
