ZAREPHATH
Village where the woman who provided food and lodging for Elijah lived (1 Kgs 17:9-10; Lk 4:26). Obadiah later prophesied that the Israelite exiles of Halah would “possess Phoenicia as far as Zarephath” (Ob 1:20). Zarephath was under the control of Sidon at the time Elijah visited, thus serving as a safe haven from King Ahab of Israel. Zarephath is likely identifiable with modern Surafend, where a chapel marks the traditional site for the widow’s house.
