It refers specifically to the prophet Elisha, the successor of Elijah. Context: Elisha, the son of Shaphat, was a prophet in the northern kingdom of Israel during the 9th century BCE. He was called to the prophetic ministry while plowing in the field, as recorded in 1 Kings 19:19-21. Elisha was anointed by the prophet Elijah, who cast his mantle upon him, symbolizing the transfer of prophetic authority. Elisha's ministry is characterized by numerous miracles, including the purification of the waters of Jericho (2 Kings 2:19-22), the multiplication of the widow's oil (2 Kings 4:1-7), the raising of the Shunammite's son (2 Kings 4:32-37), and the healing of Naaman the Syrian (2 Kings 5:1-14). He played a significant role in the political and spiritual life of Israel, often advising kings and confronting idolatry. Elisha's ministry is marked by a double portion of Elijah's spirit, as requested by Elisha before Elijah's ascension into heaven (2 Kings 2:9-12). His life and works are primarily recorded in the books of 1 and 2 Kings.
