2 Kings 4:22 Meaning and Commentary

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.

2 Kings 4:22 In-Context

20 And when he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees until noon and then died.
21 Then she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God and shut the door upon him and went out.
22 And calling her husband, she 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.
23 And he said, Why must thou go to him today? It is neither new moon nor sabbath. And she said, Peace.
24 Then she caused the ass to be saddled and said to her servant, Lead and go forward; slack not the pace for me except I bid thee.
