1 Reis 17:10 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 17:10

So he arose, and went to Zarephath
Which, according to Bunting F6, was one hundred miles from the brook Cherith:

and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was
there gathering sticks:
perhaps out of an hedge just without the city this shows her to be a poor woman, who had no other way of coming at fuel but this, and no servant to fetch it for her: Bunting tells us, that now before the gate of the city there is showed a certain chapel, where they say Elias first spoke with the widow:

and he called to her, and said, fetch me, I pray thee, a little water
in a vessel, that I may drink;
being thirsty through travelling, and supposing this to be the woman he was directed to, made trial of her this way; some render it, "in this vessel" F7, which he had with him, and made use of at the brook Cherith.

1 Reis 17:10 In-Context

8 Veio-lhe então a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
9 Levanta-te, vai para Sarepta, que pertence a Sidom, e habita ali; eis que eu ordenei a uma mulher viúva ali que te sustente.
10 Levantou-se, pois, e foi para Sarepta. Chegando ele � porta da cidade, eis que estava ali uma mulher viúva apanhando lenha; ele a chamou e lhe disse: Traze-me, peço-te, num vaso um pouco d'água, para eu beber.
11 Quando ela ia buscá-la, ele a chamou e lhe disse: Traze-me também um bocado de pão contigo.
12 Ela, porém, respondeu: Vive o Senhor teu Deus, que não tenho nem um bolo, senão somente um punhado de farinha na vasilha, e um pouco de azeite na botija; e eis que estou apanhando uns dois gravetos, para ir prepará-lo para mim e para meu filho, a fim de que o comamos, e morramos.
