2 Reis 4:24 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 4:24

Then she saddled an ass
Her servant did it by her order:

and said to her servant, drive, and go forward;
make all the haste he could:

slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee;
do not be afraid of riding too fast for me; if thou dost, I will tell thee; till then, keep on a good pace: Abarbinel says she walked afoot all the way, and ordered the man not to slacken his pace in riding for her, unless she called to him; and the Targum seems to favour this sense,

``do not press me to ride unless I call to thee;''

so that the ass was for Elijah to ride on; but one would think, that, as she was in haste, quicker dispatch would be made by her riding than by walking, see ( 2 Kings 4:22 ) .

22 Então chamou a seu marido, e disse: Manda-me, peço-te, um dos moços e uma das jumentas, para que eu corra ao homem de Deus e volte.
23 Disse ele: Por que queres ir ter com ele hoje? Não é lua nova nem sábado. E ela disse: Tudo vai bem.
24 Então ela fez albardar a jumenta, e disse ao seu moço: Guia e anda, e não me detenhas no caminhar, senão quando eu to disser.
25 Partiu pois, e foi ter com o homem de Deus, ao monte Carmelo; e sucedeu que, vendo-a de longe o homem de Deus, disse a Geazi, seu moço: Eis aí a sunamita;
26 corre-lhe ao encontro e pergunta-lhe: Vais bem? Vai bem teu marido? Vai bem teu filho? Ela respondeu: Vai bem.
