Unto Zarephath (eiv Sarepta). The modern village Surafend on the coast road between Tyre and Sidon.
Unto a woman that was a widow (prov gunaika xhran). Literally, unto a woman a widow (like our vernacular widow woman). This is an illustration of the proverb from the life of Elijah (I Kings 17:8-9). This woman was in the land of Sidon or Phoenicia, a heathen, where Jesus himself will go later.
