Commentary on Luke 4:262 voices
But unto none of them was Elias sent,.... That is, to none of the poor widows in the land of Israel was the prophet sent, to supply them with food, and relieve them in their famishing circumstances, as might most reasonably have been expected: save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon; which in 1Ki 17:10 is called "Zarephath"; and by the Septuagint there, "Sarepta of Sidon", as here.
John Gill· Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)Reformed
Unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta - The sentence is elliptical, and means this: To none of them was Elias sent; he was not sent except to Sarepta; for the widow at Sarepta was a Sidonian, not a widow of Israel. Pearce. - Sarepta was a pagan city in the country of Sidon, in the vicinity of Galilee.
