Jawab Elisa kepadanya: "Apakah yang dapat kuperbuat bagimu? Beritahukanlah kepadaku apa-apa yang kaupunya di rumah." Berkatalah perempuan itu: "Hambamu ini tidak punya sesuatu apapun di rumah, kecuali sebuah buli-buli berisi minyak."
Maka kata Elisa kepadanya: Apakah boleh kuperbuat karena engkau? Berilah tahu aku barang apa yang di dalam rumahmu. Maka sahutnya: Satupun tiada pada sahaya dalam rumah melainkan sebuah buli-buli berisi minyak.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Elisha said unto her, what shall I do for thee?.... Or can I do, being poor himself, and unable to relieve her out of his substance, and not knowing where to get anything for her; and so what could she expect from him? signifying, that he pitied her case, but all that he could do was to give her his best advice, and pray for her:
tell me what thou hast in thy house? that she could part with and dispose of, in order to pay her debt; and satisfy her creditor:
and she said, thine handmaid hath not anything in the house, save a pot of oil; that is, nothing of any value; she might have some things, some sort of household goods, though perhaps she had parted with most of them in her poverty; this was the most valuable thing she had.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
A pot of oil - Or, “an anointing of oil” - so much oil, i. e., as would serve me for one anointing of my person. The word used occurs only in this passage.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 4:2. Save a pot of oil. — Oil was used as aliment, for anointing the body after bathing, and to anoint the dead. Some think that this pot of oil was what this widow had kept for her burial: see Matthew 26:12.
