When the author says that she (the Shunammite woman) saddled the donkey, he is using her, as one person who was involved in this action, to represent everyone who was involved. It is likely that she directed a servant to saddle the donkey. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And she had a servant saddle the donkey]

If it would appear in your language that the woman was making a statement and then contradicting it, you could reword this as a positive statement. Alternate translation: [Only slacken for me to ride if I tell you to do that]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
