Elisha was remembered as coming from Avel-Mecholah, with one recension associating the region with Reuven.
His birth was linked with a sign at Gilgal: the golden calf was said to bellow so loudly that the sound reached Yerushalayim. Through priestly inquiry the sign was interpreted to mean that a prophet had been born to Yisra’el who would overthrow carved and molten powers.
At death Elisha was buried in Shomron. The collection closes with that burial notice.
