    Why does New Revised Standard Version refer to Elijah in vs 10-13 while this King James Version speaks of Elisha?

    Actually Patrick, the KJV shows the name as 'Elias' not Elisha (two different people). And Elias is another form of the name 'Elijah' (from the Hebrew, Eliyyah). So the RSV & KJV both speak of the same man, Elijah.

    Eliyyah is Hebrew, Elias is the Greek form of that.
