Elijah's successor — double the miracles, triple the intensity
Also known as Elisha the prophet
The prophet who took over from Elijah, inheriting a double portion of his spirit. He multiplied oil for a widow, raised a child from the dead, healed Naaman's leprosy, and made an axe head float. He mentored a community of prophets and was involved in major political decisions in Israel and surrounding nations.
Fresh off his greatest victory, Elijah runs for his life from Jezebel's death threat and has a deeply personal encounter with God in the wilderness.
Elijah's Chariot of FireDivided KingdomElijah is taken up to heaven in a whirlwind with a chariot and horses of fire, and his protégé Elisha picks up his mantle — literally and figuratively.
Elisha and the Shunammite WomanDivided KingdomA wealthy woman from Shunem builds Elisha a guest room — and the prophet repays her with a miracle son, then raises him from the dead when tragedy strikes years later.
Naaman Healed of LeprosyDivided KingdomA powerful Syrian general with leprosy swallows his pride, follows Elisha's instructions to wash in the Jordan seven times, and is completely healed.
The Siege of SamariaDivided KingdomSyria besieges Samaria so severely that people resort to cannibalism — but God sends the enemy fleeing in panic overnight, and food prices crash by morning.

Elisha is referenced here as the prophet through whose unnamed messenger Jehu received his divine anointing as king, establishing the prophetic authority behind Jehu's violent purge.
The Deathbed Test2 Kings 13:14-19Elisha is dying here — the great prophet who had been Israel's supernatural defense for decades is on his deathbed, and his imminent absence is about to reveal just how much the nation's security depended on his presence.
The Walk He Wouldn't Walk Alone2 Kings 2:1-6Elisha refuses three separate times to leave Elijah's side, demonstrating a loyalty that holds firm even in the face of impending grief and loss.
The Prophet Who Almost Said No2 Kings 3:13-19Elisha enters the story here with deliberate bluntness — he tells the king of Israel directly that the only reason he'll help at all is out of respect for Jehoshaphat, then calls for a musician before prophesying.
A Jar and a Whole Lot of Empty Space2 Kings 4:1-7Elisha is the crisis responder here, meeting a desperate widow about to lose her sons to debt slavery and directing her to gather empty vessels for a miracle of multiplying oil.
The King Who Panicked2 Kings 5:6-8Elisha enters the story here with quiet authority, hearing about the king's panic and calmly redirecting Naaman to himself — his confidence that God can heal stands in stark contrast to the king's fear.
The Borrowed Axe2 Kings 6:1-7Elisha is here in a pastoral, unhurried role — accompanying his student prophets on a building project and responding to one man's small crisis with a quiet, effortless miracle.
Tomorrow, Everything Changes2 Kings 7:1-2Elisha delivers God's specific, time-stamped promise of restored market prices by tomorrow — and then pronounces a chilling personal consequence on the officer who mocks it.
She Walked In at Exactly the Right Moment2 Kings 8:1-6Elisha is the prophet who warned the Shunammite woman about the coming famine years earlier, setting in motion the chain of events that leads to her perfectly timed return before the king.
The Secret Anointing2 Kings 9:1-3Elisha is orchestrating the anointing of Jehu from a distance, sending a young prophet as his proxy rather than going himself — directing the coup without being present for it.
