Tishbe
Tishbe, sometimes transliterated as Thisbe,[1] is a town mentioned in the Hebrew Bible's First Book of Kings, 1 Kings 17:1, as the residence and possibly even birthplace of the prophet Elijah, known as the Tishbite. It is placed by the biblical text in the historical region of Gilead,[2] now in the western part of modern-day Jordan. However, the toponym may denominate another location, as discussed below.
