Elishah is the people or region associated with maritime trade and the descendants of Javan. The name works more like an ethnogeographic designation than a single settled city, and its exact historical identification remains debated, but it is important because it extends the Bible's horizon into the Aegean and Mediterranean world. First appears in Ezek 27:7.1
AI summary: Elishah matters because Scripture preserves both genealogical and commercial memory of distant maritime peoples. The name belongs to the wider world of coastlands, trade, and the nations beyond the Levant.1
The oldest of the four sons of Javan (Gen. 10:4), whose descendants peopled Greece. It has been supposed that Elishah’s descendants peopled the Peloponnesus, which was known by the name of Elis. This may be meant by “the isles of Elishah” (Ezek. 27:7). 3
