Sidon in 1 Kings 17
SY-dun
This place shows up in 1 Kings 17:9: ““Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
1 Kings 17:9
““Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.””
What kids can learn
When you hear sidon in 1 Kings, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
