Shown here is The Miracle at the Grave of Elisha, an oil painting on panel which was completed by the Dutch painter Jan Nagel in 1596. It depicts part of the Biblical account of Elisha, a miracle that occurred after his death. Following 2 Kings 13:21, the painting shows a dead man who was "revived, and stood up on his feet" after touching Elisha's interred bones.Painting: Jan Nagel

The article omits any discussion on the historicity of Elisha but the general tone suggests that Elisha did indeed live as described. Can somebody elaborate and introduce a proper subsection on this topic? Thank you all.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.103.156.73 (talk) 14:42, 26 September 2017
Elisha's Spring is a... spring is a spring, not the nearby touristic fountain

Sinclairian, hi. I have no issue with you, so please, what's your issue with me? Do a search. The spring is a spring, not a touristic fountain connected to the city main and some distance away. Wiki Commons JPG names aren't RS, to be sure.
There were half a dozen Wikipedia pages who were tricked into either using the name of the fountain (it's never been a fountain!), and sometimes pictures of that same fake site as illustration, for instance 2 Kings 2, the Ein es-Sultan spring, prophet Elisha, Tell es-Sultan archaeological site & UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Ein es-Sultan camp, in several different languages - and I think I'm missing some. It took me a lot of time to fix them all.The local owner of the shop & restaurant there uses the fountain built by him as a magnet for tourists ("tourist trap"). Excellent for him, but not for an encyclopedia. The real spring is a short distance away and has been enclosed in a building for protection by some European Community development agency, and to get inside you need to pay a fee. The nearby shop & restaurant owner had the smart idea to create the free-access fountain on the side of his parking lot, fed by water from the public water system. Most of Jericho gets its water through pipes connected to that spring, so every tap in Jericho has as good a claim to be "Elisha's Spring" as that parking lot contraption.

"According to who? Something reputable or, just you?"
Your edit summary. I call this nasty. Very nasty. And unprovoked. Not making up anything.
Why should I do more work? Tamar Hayardeni took both pictures, at both sites; there is no base for preferring the other based on what was here already. The previous choice was presumably based on aesthetics, mine on knowing both places. Neither is RS if you insist, so you might as well delete the picture. But you have a shadox-boxing match to fight, or so it seams. I don't. Arminden (talk) 15:45, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
HB-OT difference?

The article claims that Elisha's story is told in 2 Kings 2-14. Maybe that's the case with the Hebrew Bible, although I doubt it, and not with the OT, where it's contained in 1 Kings 19, and 2 Kings 2-9+13, nothing about him in 2K10, 11, 12 and certainly not 14. I think it's a mistake and should be removed. Arminden (talk) 08:36, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
