Il se leva donc et s'en alla à Sarepta; et, comme il arrivait à la porte de la ville, voici, il y avait là une femme veuve qui ramassait du bois; il l'appela et lui dit: Je te prie, prends-moi un peu d'eau dans un vase, et que je boive.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So he arose, and went to Zarephath,.... Which, according to Bunting f, 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" g, which he had with him, and made use of at the brook Cherith.
