Contextual Overview
18When the child was grown, the day came that he went out to his father, to the reapers. 19But he said to his father, "My head, my head." The man said to his servant, "Carry him to his mother." 20When he had carried and brought him to his mother, he sat on her lap until noon, and then he died. 21She went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door [of the small upper room] behind him and left. 22Then she called to her husband and said, "Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, so that I may run to the man of God and return."23He said, "Why are you going to him today? It is neither the New Moon nor the Sabbath." And she said, "It will be all right." 24Then she saddled the donkey and said to her servant, "Drive [the animal] fast; do not slow down the pace for me unless I tell you." 25So she set out and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her at a distance, he said to Gehazi his servant, "Look, there is the Shunammite woman. 26"Please run now to meet her and ask her, 'Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?'" And she answered, "It is well." 27When she came to the mountain to the man of God, she took hold of his feet. Gehazi approached to push her away; but the man of God said, "Let her alone, for her soul is desperate and troubled within her; and the LORD has hidden the reason from me and has not told me."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men and one of the asses - All the âyoung menâ and all the âassesâ were in the harvest field, the young men cutting and binding the sheaves, and placing them upon carts or wains, the donkeys drawing these vehicles fully laden, to the threshing-floor. Compare Amos 2:13.
