Also known as Elishama
Elishua, also referred to as Elishama, is mentioned in the lists of King David's sons born to him in Jerusalem (2Sa.5.15; 1Ch.14.5; 3.6). He was born after David had established himself as king over Israel and had conquered the city of Jerusalem. The name Elishua appears in the list of David's sons in 2Samuel 5 and 1Chronicles 14, while the name Elishama is used in the genealogy of David's descendants in 1Chronicles 3. This suggests that the two names refer to the same individual.
