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 He carried him and brought him to his mother; the child sat on her lap until noon, and he died.

21 She went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, closed the door on him, and left.

22 Then she called to her husband, and said, "Send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, so that I may quickly go to the man of God and come back again."

23 He said, "Why go to him today? It is neither new moon nor sabbath." She said, "It will be all right."

24 Then she saddled the donkey and said to her servant, "Urge the animal on; do not hold back for me unless I tell you."
