'Ass' in the Bible

Then Shimei got up, and making ready his ass, he went to Gath, to Achish, in search of his servants; and he sent and got them from Gath.

So the prophet said to his sons, Make ready an ass for me. So they made an ass ready, and he got on it,

Now after the meal he made ready the ass for him, for the prophet whom he had taken back.

And he went on his way; but on the road a lion came rushing at him and put him to death; and his dead body was stretched in the road with the ass by its side, and the lion was there by the body.

And he said to his sons, Make ready the ass for me. And they did so.

And he went and saw the dead body stretched out in the road with the ass and the lion by its side: the lion had not taken the body for its food or done any damage to the ass.

Then the prophet took up the body of the man of God and put it on the ass and took it back; and he came to the town to put the body to rest with weeping.
