Contextual Overview
18 When the child was grown, he went out one day to his father who was with those gathering grain. 19 He said to his father, "O, my head, my head!" The father said to his servant, "Carry him to his mother." 20 When he was brought to his mother, he sat on her knees until noon. Then he died. 21 She went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God. She shut the door behind him, and went out. 22 Then she called to her husband and said, "Send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and return." 23 Her husband said, "Why will you go to him today? It is not the time of the new moon or the Day of Rest." She said, "It will be all right." 24 Then she put a seat on a donkey and said to her servant, "Drive on. Do not slow down for me unless I tell you." 25 So she went and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her far away, he said to Gehazi his servant, "See, there is the Shunammite. 26 Run now to meet her. Say to her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?'" And she answered, "It is well." 27 When she came to the mountain to the man of God, she took hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to push her away, but the man of God said, "Let her alone. For her soul is troubled within her. The Lord has hidden it from me. He has 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.
