1 Kings 17:9 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Arise, get thee to Zarephath— Zarephath, or Sarepta, lay between Tyre and Sidon, but nearest to the latter. Mr. Maundrell observes, that it is the same which is now called Sarphan, about three hours travel from Sidon, in the way to Tyre. It consists at present only of a few houses on the tops of the mountains; but there is reason to believe, that the principal part of the city stood in the plain below, because there are still ruins to be seen there of very considerable extent.

1 Kings 17:9

9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath,c which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
