Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Kings 17:16-17

(16) And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah. (17) ¶ And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him. Of this sickness, as it is proved by the issue, it may be said, as our Lord did of the sickness of Lazarus, it is not unto death but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 17:8-16

8-16 Many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, and some, it is likely, would have bidden him welcome to their houses; yet he is sent to honour and bless with his presence a city of Sidon, a Gentile city, and so becomes the first prophet of the Gentiles. Jezebel was Elijah's greatest enemy; yet, to show her how powerless was her malice, God will find a hiding-place for him even in her own country. The person appointed to entertain Elijah is not one of the rich or great men of Sidon; but a... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Kings 17:8-16

Elijah in Zarephath v. 8. And the word of the Lord came unto him, when the brook no longer furnished him water to drink, saying, v. 9. Arise, get thee to Zarephath, in the Phoenician country, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee, He had made provisions to take further care of His prophet, and would in due time influence her heart to do His bidding. v. 10. So he, Elijah, arose, and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the... read more

1 Kings A PROPHET’S STRANGE PROVIDERS 1Ki_17:1 - 1Ki_17:16 . The worst times need the best men. The reign of Ahab brought a great outburst of Baal worship, imported by his Phoenician wife, which threatened to sweep away every trace of the worship of Jehovah. The feeble king was absolutely ruled by the strongwilled Jezebel, and everything seemed rushing down to ruin. One man arrests the downward movement, and with no weapon but his word, and no support but his own dauntless courage, which... read more

the Jar of Meal That Wasted not 1 Kings 17:8-16 Even at Cherith we cannot be exempt from trial, and it is hard to sit beside a gradually dwindling brook. But God always provides. None of them that trust in Him shall be desolate. Whether the visible agents are ravens, or a poor heathen widow ready to perish, it matters little. God’s majestic “I have commanded” is enough. Whether it is ordinary or extraordinary, natural or supernatural, through Jew or Gentile, God’s purpose does not tarry.... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 17:1-24

Here began a new order, the prophetic. Of course there had been prophets before, but with the coming of Elijah the office was elevated to national importance. From this point onwards, in the economy of the divine government, the prophet is superior to the king. Presently we shall find kings whose hearts were set upon reform, but even their work will be due to the inspiration of some prophet of God through whom His will is made known to men. The sudden appearance of Elijah was startling and... read more

Jehovah-Jireh Selections from 1 Kings 17:1-24 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Our God is the God who is enough. There is no good thing which He withholds from them who walk uprightly. Our God is able to make all grace abound unto us, so that we, having all sufficiency in all things, may abound unto every good word and work. Let us spend a few moments in observing some particular places in which our God supplies our need. 1. God meets our physical needs. Before ever God created man, He created the beasts... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 17:1-24

The Reign Of Ahab King Of Israel c. 872-851 BC (1 Kings 16:29 to 1 Kings 22:40 ). The reigns of the previous seven kings of Judah and Israel have been covered in a short space (1 Kings 15:1 to 1 Kings 16:28). The reign of Ahab will now take up almost the whole of the remainder of 1 Kings (from 1 Kings 16:29 to 1 Kings 22:40). This, however, was not due to the importance of Ahab politically, but occurs because he was in continual conflict with the prophets of YHWH. It was these conflicts... read more

YHWH Makes Provision For Elijah With A Widow Of Zarephath (1 Kings 17:8-16 ). The water in the Wadi Cherith having almost dried up, God now directed Elijah to go to Zarephath, where He would arrange for a widow woman to provide his need. Zarephath was on the Lebanese coast road between Tyre and Sidon, thirteen kilometres (nine miles) south of Sidon. It was mentioned in the 13th century BC papyrus Anastasi 1. It was also mentioned by Sennacherib and Esarhaddon. To this Phoenician town Elijah... read more
