Contextual Overview

18 And, when the child was grown, it came to pass, on a certain day, that he went out unto his father, unto the reapers; 19 and he said unto his father - My head! my head! So he said unto the young man, Carry him to his mother. 20 And, when he had carried him, and brought him in unto his mother, he sat on her knees until noon, and then died. 21 And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, - and shut him in, and then went out. 22 And she called unto her husband, and said - Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, - that I may run unto the man of God, and return! 23 And he said - Wherefore art thou going unto him, to-day, neither new moon nor sabbath? And she said - Peace! 24 Then saddled she the ass, and said unto her young man - Lead on, and go forward, - do not slacken, for my sake, the riding, except I have bidden thee. 25 So she went her way, and came unto the man of God, unto Mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her, opposite, that he said unto Gehazi young man, Lo! this Shunammitess! 26 Now, run, I pray thee, to meet her, and say to her - Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she said, Well! 27 But, when she came unto the man of God, on the mount, she caught hold of his feet, - and Gehazi drew near to thrust her away, when the man of God said - Let her alone! for, her life, is embittered to her, howbeit, Yahweh, hath hidden it from me, and hath not told 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.
