Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the ark of the Lord was in the country of the Philistines seven months. Or "in the field" c of the Philistines; hence Procopius Gazaeus observes, that none of the cities daring to receive the ark, they left it without under the open air, so thinking they should be delivered from their calamity. But the word is often used for country, and is generally so understood here; the Targum is,
"in the cities of the Philistines;''
in one or other of them, first for a while in Ashdod, and then for some time in Gath, and last in Ekron, and in all seven months from the time of its being taken; and it being in wheat harvest when it was returned, 1 Samuel 6:13, these seven months will carry us back to the beginning of winter, or towards the end of autumn, when the battles between Israel and the Philistines were fought, and the ark was taken. Josephus d says it was with the Philistines four months only, contrary to the text.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER VI
After the ark had been seven months in the land of the
Philistines, they consult their priests and diviners about
sending it to Shiloh, 1, 2.
They advise that it be sent back with a trespass-offering of
five golden emerods, and five golden mice, 3-6.
They advise also that it be sent back on a new cart, drawn by
two milch kine from whom their calves shall be tied up; and
then conclude that if these cows shalt take the way of
Beth-hemesh, as going to the Israelitish border, then the LORD
had afflicted them, if not, then their evils were accidental,
7-9.
They do as directed; and the kine take the way of Beth-shemesh,
10-13.
They stop in the field of Joshua; and the men of Beth-shemesh
take them, and offer them to the Lord for a burnt-offering,
and cleave the wood of the cart to burn them, and make sundry
other offerings, 14, 15.
The offerings of the five lords of the Philistines, 16-18.
For too curiously looking into the ark, the men of Beth-shemesh
are smitten of the Lord, 19, 20.
They send to the inhabitants of Kirjath-jearim, that they may
take away the ark, 21.
