Elijah Elijah

Besides the famous prophet Elijah in the time of king Ahab there is an Elijah, son of king Jeroboam (1 Chr 8:27), and an Elijah who divorced his foreign wife (Ezra 10:21).

The name Elijah is a junction of two of the names of God: Elohim ( Elohim) and YHWH ( YHWH). The name Joel is the exact opposite, namely Yah is El.

Elijah means El is Yah, or Elohim is YHWH, or God Is Lord.
