2 Reyes 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 Y llamando a su marido, le dijo: Te ruego que envíes conmigo a alguno de los criados y una de las asnas, para que yo vaya corriendo al varón de Dios, y vuelva.
23 Y él dijo: ¿Para qué has de ir a él hoy? No es nueva luna, ni sábado. Y ella respondió: Paz.
24 Después hizo enalbardar una asna, y dijo al criado: Guía y anda; y no me hagas detener para que suba, sino cuando yo te lo dijere.
25 Partió, pues , y vino al varón de Dios al monte del Carmelo. Y cuando el varón de Dios la vio de lejos, dijo a su criado Giezi: He aquí la sunamita.
26 Te ruego que vayas ahora corriendo a recibirla, y dile: ¿Tienes paz? ¿Y tu marido, y tu hijo? Y ella dijo: Paz.
