2 Kings 4:22-24
New English Translation
22 She called to her husband, “Send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, so I can go see the prophet quickly and then return.” 23 He said, “Why do you want to go see him today? It is not the new moon[a] or the Sabbath.” She said, “Everything’s fine.”[b] 24 She saddled the donkey and told her servant, “Lead on.[c] Do not stop unless I say so.”[d]
