2 Kings 4:22

And she called unto her husband
In the field, who might be within call, or by a messenger she sent to him:

and said, send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the
asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again;
intimating that she should not be long gone, but should return again presently; saying not a word of the death of the child, or of the occasion of her going.
