4 Elishah is one of the four sons of Javan; therefore a people or a country related to the Ionians.

 Tarshish
The grandsons of the high-principled Japheth, were likely to carry with them in their practical colonization, the highest attainments of the age.
Gesenius, one of the best recent authorities on ancient geography, indicates the order of their settlements to be; Dodanim, at the western end of Asia Minor; Elishah, in Peloponnesus; Chittim, in Northern Greece, and, perhaps Italy; and Tarshish in Spain.
It is, again, within the bounds of very reasonable probability, that the race of Tarshish, for a time, actually occupied that region with settlers.

"ELISHAH" corresponds to cuneiform "ALASHIYA" or CYPRUS (Ez.27:7).
But Josephus identifies ELISHAH as the "Aeolians" (1:6:1) who lived on LESBOS (Herod.1:151).
Since Javan went east to islands (Isa.66:19; Jub.9:8), he may have also become the ALEUT Indians of ALASKA'S archipelago via his son ELISHAH.

As related in the Book of Kings, the first mission to which Elishah was summoned after the departure of his mentor, Elijah, was to solve a water shortage that was plaguing Jericho at the time.
