Melachim Bais 4:18 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 4:18

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.

Melachim Bais 4:18 In-Context

16 And he said, About this mo’ed, according to the et chayyah (Gen. 18:10), thou choveket ben (shalt embrace a son). And she said, No, adoni, thou Ish HaElohim, do not give false hope unto thine shifchah.
17 And the isha conceived, and bore ben at that mo’ed that Elishah had said unto her, according to the et chayyah.
18 The yeled grew, and it happened one day, that he went out to Aviv to the kotzerim (harvesters, reapers).
19 And he said unto Aviv, My rosh, my rosh. And he said to the na’ar, Carry him to immo.
20 And when he had lifted him, and brought him to immo, he sat on her birkayim (knees) till tzohorayim, and then died.
