The meaning of Zarephath in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)

smelting-shop, "a workshop for the refining and smelting of metals", a small Phoenician town, now Surafend, about a mile from the coast, almost midway on the road between Tyre and Sidon. Here Elijah sojourned with a poor widow during the "great famine," when the "heaven was shut up three years and six months" (Luke 4:26; I Kings 17:10). It is called Sarepta in the New Testament (Luke 4:26).
