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.
