One of the former prophets, he was successor to Elijah after the Lord took him up to heaven in a whirlwind (II Kgs 2:1). Ministering in Israel (ca. 850-820 BCE) from the end of the reign of Ahab through most of the reign of Jehu, Elijah is especially noted for raising back to life the only son of a Shunammite woman, for a miracle involving the multiplication of twenty barley loaves, and for curing (and converting) Naaman, the army commander of the king of Aram.
The prophet who succeeded Elijah in the Northern Kingdom of Israel. See Chapter 9, Chapter 9.
Elisha is a Biblical prophet. In Latin, (and in English to some Catholics) he is known as Eliseus; however, the standard English form of the name has been "Elisha," at least since the introduction of the King James Version of the Bible. He is also a prophet in Islam under the name Al-Yasa.
