Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Kings 4:2

2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee ? Tell me, what hast thou in the house ? And she said, Thine hand-maid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil .

How shall I relieve thee, who am my self poor?

Which may contribute to the Payment of thy Debts, or, at least, to the satisfaction of thy Creditors, who may perchance deal favourably with thee through my persuasion.

Which was useful for divers things about the Service of God, and health, or delight, or ornament, and other uses of men. See Iudg. 9. 9.
