Have Archaeologists Found Home Of Bible's Elisha?
Archaeologists in Israel say they may have discovered the home of the Old Testament prophet Elisha. A pottery shard with his name on it has been dated to about the ninth century B.C., which would be about the time he lived, researchers say. CBN reported the pottery piece was found in a novel house uncovered in Tel Rehov in the Jordan Valley. Elisha was born in Avel Mehola, only about seven miles from Tel Rehov. The report said the research, which has been going on for more than a decade, uncovered a 3,000-year-old “well-planned” city. There, a unique structure was uncovered, with two wings “connected to one another through the back room and each one of the wings had an opening to the street,” Mazar said.
