Elishah. [Eli'shah]
Eldest son of Javan, the son of Japheth. Genesis 10:4; 1 Chronicles 1:1. His descendants apparently occupied the 'isles of Elishah,' and supplied the Phoenicians with blue and purple. Ezekiel 27:7. Josephus identifies them with the Æolians. Others connect Elishah with Elis in the Peloponnesus.
