Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 17:11

17:9 Zarephath - A city between Tyre and Sidon, calledSarepta by St. #Luke 4:26|, and others.Zidon - To the jurisdiction of that city, which was inhabited byGentiles. And God's providing for his prophet, first, by an uncleanbird, and then by a Gentile, whom the Jews esteemed unclean, was apresage of the calling of the Gentiles, and rejection of the Jews.So Elijah was the first prophet of the Gentiles.Commanded - Appointed or provided, for that she had as yet no revelationor command of God about it, appears from ver.#12|.

17:12 She said - Therefore though she was a Gentile, yet she ownedthe God of Israel as the true God. Two sticks - A few sticks, thatnumber being often used indefinitely for any small number. And die - Forhaving no more provision, we must needs perish with hunger. For though thefamine was chiefly in the land of Israel, yet the effects of it were inTyre and Sidon, which were fed by the corn of that land. But whata poor supporter was this likely to be? who had no fuel, but what shegathered in the streets, and nothing to live upon herself, but an handfulof meal and a little oil! To her Elijah is sent, that he might liveupon providence, as much as he had done when the ravens fed him.

17:13 But make, &c. - This he requires as a trial of her faith, andobedience, which he knew God would plentifully reward; and so this wouldbe a great example to encourage others to the practice of the same graces.
