ELISHA, ELISEUS ĭ lī’ shə (Heb. אֱלִישָׁ֖ע God is salvation; Gr., LXX, ̓Ελισα, ̓Ελισαιε, NT, ̓Ελισαίος; KJV, ELISEUS, Luke 4:27), was a prophet, the successor of Elijah.

Elisha the man of God
God, who sees in secret, always knows all who are His, and He had earlier declared to Elijah that there were 7,000 persons in Israel who had not done homage to Baal during a very wicked time (1 Kings 19:18).

As Elijah was nearing the end of his ministry, God directed him to anoint a younger man named Elisha to take his place. Elisha, son of Shaphat, was from Abel Meholah, of the Jordan Valley (1 Kings 19:16).

After a few years of training, Elisha would become God’s spokesman to the northern kingdom; and his ministry would be filled with signs and miracles, proclamations and warnings. He would become known as the prophet of peace and healing.

Elisha’s name in Hebrew means “God is salvation” (New Bible Dictionary). Elisha is mentioned only once in the New Testament, using the Greek version of his name, Elisaios, in Luke 4:27 (King James Version).
