Contextual Overview
18 The boy grew. One day the boy went out into the fields to see his father and the men cutting the grain. 19 The boy said to his father, "Oh, my head! My head hurts!" The father said to his servant, "Carry him to his mother!" 20 The servant took the boy to his mother. The boy sat on his mother's lap until noon. Then he died. 21 The woman laid the boy on the bed of Elisha, the man of God. Then she shut the door to that room and went outside. 22 She called to her husband and said, "Please send me one of the servants and a donkey. Then I will go quickly to get the man of God and come back." 23 The woman's husband said, "Why would you want to go to the man of God today? It isn't the New Moon or Sabbath day." She said, "Goodbye!" 24 Then she put a saddle on a donkey and said to her servant, "Let's go, and hurry! Go slow only when I tell you." 25 The woman went to Mount Carmel to get the man of God. The man of God saw the Shunammite woman coming from far away and said to his servant Gehazi, "Look, there's the Shunammite woman! 26 Please run now to meet her! Say to her, ‘Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is the child all right?'" She answered, "Everything is all right." 27 But the Shunammite woman went up the hill to the man of God. She bowed down and touched Elisha's feet. Gehazi came near to pull her away. But the man of God said to Gehazi, "Leave her alone! She's very upset, and the Lord didn't tell me about it. He hid this news from 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.
