This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Unto Zarephath (eis Sarepta). The modern village Surafend on the coast road between Tyre and Sidon.

Unto a woman that was a widow (pros gunaika chè„ran). Literally, unto a woman a widow (like our vernacular widow woman). This is an illustration of the proverb from the life of Elijah (1Ki 17:8, 1Ki 17:9). This woman was in the land of Sidon or Phoenicia, a heathen, where Jesus himself will go later.
