Tishbite
    Elijah the prophet was thus named (1 Kings 17:1; 21:17, 28,
    etc.). In 1 Kings 17:1 the word rendered "inhabitants" is in the
    original the same as that rendered "Tishbite," hence that verse
    may be read as in the LXX., "Elijah the Tishbite of Tishbi in
    Gilead." Some interpret this word as meaning "stranger," and
    read the verse, "Elijah the stranger from among the strangers in
    Gilead." This designation is probably given to the prophet as
    denoting that his birthplace was Tishbi, a place in Upper
    Galilee (mentioned in the apocryphal book of Tobit), from which
    for some reason he migrated into Gilead. Josephus, the Jewish
    historian (Ant. 8:13, 2), however, supposes that Tishbi was some
    place in the land of Gilead. It has been identified by some with
    el-Ishtib, a some place 22 miles due south of the Sea of
    Galilee, among the mountains of Gilead.
