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.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 22 is found in chapter 4 of 2 Kings. The Shunammite woman’s son becomes ill and dies, transforming the promise previously received into a profound crisis. The woman seeks Elisha and refuses to accept a superficial solution. The prophet prays and acts persistently until the child returns to life. The episode is one of the clearest expressions of God’s life-giving power in Elisha’s ministry. It also develops an important narrative tension: receiving a gift from God does not automatically eliminate suffering. The woman’s faith appears in a situation where the promise seems to have been nullified, and restoration again confirms the authority of the prophetic word.

und rief ihren Mann und sprach: Sende mir der Knechte einen und eine Eselin; ich will zu dem Mann Gottes, und wiederkommen.
Llamando luego a su marido, díjole: Ruégote que envíes conmigo a alguno de los criados y una de las asnas, para que yo vaya corriendo al varón de Dios, y vuelva.
Llamó a su esposo y le dijo: «Envíame, por favor, a uno de los criados y una de las burras, para que vaya de prisa a ver al hombre de Dios y regrese».
Elle appela son mari, et dit: Envoie-moi, je te prie, un des serviteurs et une des ânesses; je veux aller en hâte vers l'homme de Dieu, et je reviendrai.
e mandò a dire al suo marito: Deh! mandami uno dei servitori, ed una delle asine, acciocchè io corra fino all’uomo di Dio; poi ritornerò.
E chamou a seu marido, e disse: Manda-me já um dos moços, e uma das jumentas, para que eu corra ao homem de Deus, e volte.
呼叫她丈夫說:「你叫一個僕人給我牽一匹驢來,我要趕去見神人,然後回來。」
