1
And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. (1 Kings 17:1)
;
1 Kings 21:17,28
17
And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, (1 Kings 21:17)
28
And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, (1 Kings 21:28)
;
2 Kings 1:3,8
3
But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? (2 Kings 1:3)
8
And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite. (2 Kings 1:8)
;
2 Kings 9:36
36
Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the Lord, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel: (2 Kings 9:36)
. The LXX in 1 Kings 17 has “the Thesbite of Thesbae of Galaad.” Josephus has “of Thesbon, a country in Gilead,” probably copied from the LXX. No such place is known. Some suppose the word to signify “the stranger.”
