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.
