Tishbite. [Tish'bite]


Designation of Elisha. 1 Kings 17: 1; 1 Kings 21: 17, 28; 2 Kings 1:

3, 8; 2 Kings 9: 36. The LXX in 1 Kings 17 has "the Thesbite of Thesbæ 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.'
