Context — Elisha Raises the Shunammite’s Son
20After the servant had picked him up and carried him to his mother, the boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he died.
21And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God. Then she shut the door and went out.
22And the woman called her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, that I may go quickly to the man of God and return.”
23“Why would you go to him today?” he replied. “It is not a New Moon or a Sabbath.” “Everything is all right,” she said. 24Then she saddled the donkey and told her servant, “Drive onward; do not slow the pace for me unless I tell you.”Cross References

And she called unto her husband, 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. She called unto her husband.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Kings 4:22
2 Kings 4:22 And she called unto her husband, 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.Ver. 22. Send me, I pray thee.] As a pious and a prudent matron, though she might do much with her husband, whose heart safely trusted in her, yet she would do nothing of moment without his consent.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Kings 4:22
(22) One of the young men.—To lead and drive the ass. Asses.—She-asses.That I may run.—Notice the striking naturalness of the language, in which she promises to be back soon.
Cambridge Bible on 2 Kings 4:22
