Elisha was a prophet who performed many miracles and served as a spiritual leader in Israel after Elijah (1Ki.19; 2Ki.2-13).
- A prophet living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Ki.19.16;
- referred to as Elisha אֱלִישָׁע, or Elisha Ἐλισσαῖος;
- a son of Shaphat שָׁפָט.
Elisha was a prophet in Israel who succeeded Elijah (1Ki.19.16). He was the son of Shaphat and was from Abel-meholah (1Ki.19.16,19). Elisha became Elijah's servant and disciple after Elijah threw his cloak around him while he was plowing (1Ki.19.19). When Elijah was taken up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elisha took up his cloak and received a double portion of his spirit (2Ki.2.9-13). Elisha performed many miracles, including parting the Jordan River (2Ki.2.14), purifying water (2Ki.2.19-22), multiplying a widow's oil (2Ki.4.1-7), raising a Shunammite woman's son from the dead (2Ki.4.8-37), and healing Naaman's leprosy (2Ki.5). He also prophesied and gave counsel to kings, such as Jehoshaphat and Joram (2Ki.3). Elisha's ministry spanned the reigns of several kings of Israel, including Joram, Jehu, Jehoahaz, and Joash (2Ki.2-13). He died during the reign of King Joash (2Ki.13.14-20). Jesus mentioned Elisha as an example of a prophet who was sent to heal a foreigner, Naaman the Syrian (Luk.4.27).
