    Dictionary Summary: 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](/luke#Luke.4.26); [1 Kings 17:10](/1kgs#1Kgs.17.10)). It is called Sarepta in the New Testament ([Luke 4:26](/luke#Luke.4.26)). 2
