Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: אֵל (El, meaning "God") and יְשׁוּעָה (yeshuah, meaning "salvation" or "deliverance"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Elishua, as it is a Hebrew proper noun specific to the Old Testament context.

Usage: Elishua is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is the name of one of King David's sons. Context: Elishua is mentioned in the context of the royal family of King David. He is listed as one of David's sons born in Jerusalem. The name Elishua reflects a common practice in ancient Israel of incorporating the name of God (El) into personal names, signifying a relationship or attribute associated with God. In the genealogical records, Elishua is noted among the sons of David, indicating his place within the royal lineage. The mention of Elishua can be found in 2 Samuel 5:15 and 1 Chronicles 14:5, where the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) states: "Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia," as part of the list of David's sons born to him in Jerusalem. The name Elishua, like many biblical names, carries theological significance, emphasizing the belief in God's role as a deliverer and savior.
