And she said to her husband, Send me one of the servants and one of the asses so that I may go quickly to the man of God and come back again.

So they came in, and, crying out to the door-keepers of the town, they gave them the news, saying, We came to the tents of the Aramaeans, and there was no one there and no voice of man, only the horses and the asses in their places, and the tents as they were.

So they got up and went in flight, in the half light, without their tents or their horses or their asses or any of their goods; they went in flight, fearing for their lives.

Then she made the ass ready and said to her servant, Keep driving on; do not make a stop without orders from me.
