the sons of the prophets
This does not mean that they were the sons of prophets, but rather, that they were a group of prophets. See how you translated this phrase in 2 Kings 2:3. AT: "the prophets" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)
Your servant my husband
"My husband, who was your servant"
creditor
person who lends other people money
Your servant has nothing
The woman refers to herself as Elisha's servant to show him honor.
nothing in the house, except a pot of oil
This is an exaggeration. The only valuable thing she had was a jar of oil. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole)
