Elisha

The Prophet Elisha, who allegedly built the synagogue, was said to have anointed King Hazael on its steps, now gone.

Elisha could not have been bald from old age, since he lived on for nearly sixty years, and must have been a young man.

It was all over but the shouting, and there was very little of that, for Elisha had few friends in the crowd.

Little by little Elijah imparted to Elisha his views of life and imparted to him also his enthusiasm for the welfare of Israel.
