1 Kings 17:9-10

17:9 “Get up, go to Zarephath in Sidonian territory, and live there. I have already told ¹  a widow who lives there to provide for you.” 17:10 So he got up and went to Zarephath. When he went through the city gate, there was a widow gathering wood. He called out to her, “Please give me a cup ²  of water, so I can take a drink.”

Luke 4:26

4:26 Yet ³  Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to a woman who was a widow at Zarephath in Sidon. ⁴ 

[17:9]  ¹ tn Heb “Look, I have commanded.”

[17:10]  ² tn Heb “a little.”

[4:26]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast.

[4:26]  ⁴ sn Zarephath in Sidon was Gentile territory (see 1 Kgs 17:9-24). Jesus’ point was that he would be forced to minister elsewhere, and the implication is that this ministry would ultimately extend (through the work of his followers) to those outside the nation.
