And he said to his sons, 'Saddle the ass for me.' And they saddled it — The old prophet prepares to retrieve the young prophet's body, undertaking a pious mission to honor the dead. The verb וַיְחַבְּשׁוּ־לוֹ (vayechabbru-lo, they saddled it) shows his sons obeying his command without question, perhaps understanding the gravity of his intent.
