Zarephath
   smelting-shop, "a workshop for the refining and smelting of
   metals", a small Phoenician town, now Surafend, about a mile
   from the coast, almost midway on the road between Tyre and
   Sidon. Here Elijah sojourned with a poor widow during the "great
   famine," when the "heaven was shut up three years and six
   months" (Luke 4:26; 1 Kings 17:10). It is called Sarepta in the
   New Testament (Luke 4:26).
