From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Servitor
     occurs only in 2 Kings 4:43, Authorized Version (R.V.,
     "servant"). The Hebrew word there rendered "servitor" is
     elsewhere rendered "minister," "servant" (Ex. 24:13; 33:11).
     Probably Gehazi, the personal attendant on Elisha, is here
     meant.
