Elisha
Elisha was a prophet and wonder-worker in the Hebrew Bible. He is also mentioned in the New Testament and the Quran. Elisha is venerated as a prophet in Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
Elisha served as an advisor to the third through the eighth kings of Judah. He is called a patriot because of his help to soldiers and kings.
In the biblical narrative, Elisha is a disciple and protégé of Elijah. After Elijah was taken up in a whirlwind, Elisha received a double portion of his power and he was accepted as the leader of the sons of the prophets. Elisha then went on to perform twice as many miracles as Elijah.
