2 | Son of..... reference in the Bible? | 1 Kin 19:16 | Searcher56 | 60274 | ||
eagle11, greetings. "The son of" was used to distinguish people who had the same name. There may of been two Elisha's at theat time, so adding his father's name helped. It also helped in the lineage ... it was easier to trace. Hope this helps, Searcher |
