ELISHUA.—A son of David (2Sa 5:15, 1Ch 14:5; also 1Ch 3:6 [corrected text; see Elishama, 3]).

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia by James Orr (ed.) (1915)

el-i-shū´a, ē̇-lish´ū̇-a (אלישׁוּע, ’ĕlı̄shūȧ‛, “God is rich,” “God is salvation”): Son of David (2Sa 5:15; 1Ch 14:5); apparently called Elishama (1Ch 3:6). In the latter locus we have most probably a misreading by the copyist of the name Elishua.
