Exegesis
Elijah’s designation as hatishbi {הַתִּשְׁבִּ֜י | hattîš·bî} and the phrase mitoshavei Gilad {מִתֹּשָׁבֵ֣י גִלְעָד | min·tô·šā·ḇê gil·ʿāḏ} establish his origin.
In context — 1 Kings 17:1
And Elijah the Tishbite, from among the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the LORD God of Israel lives, before whom I have stood, there shall be no dew or rain these years except by my word .”
