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.

f Ut supra, (Travels, &c.) p. 203. g בכלי "in hoc vase", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator.
