Lalu perempuan itu datang dan memberitahukannya kepada abdi Allah. Kata Elisa: “Pergilah, juallah minyak itu dan lunasilah utangmu. Engkau dan anak-anakmu dapat hidup dari sisanya.”

“She came and told the man of God, etc.” [4:7]. The woman came and wanted to ask the advice of Elisha. Should she wait until oil became more expensive? Elisha, the man of God, answered her. Sell the oil. There will be enough to pay your debts and to feed your children with the remaining oil.
Rashi
She came and told, etc. She came for advice, whether to sell [the oil] or to wait until it would become even more expensive.
