Elijah was from Tishbeh in Gilead but there is no mention in scripture either of his birth or parentage. Although Elijah was among the greatest of the prophets, it is entirely in keeping with his ministry that he should be an obscure figure personally. He appeared as if 'from nowhere' to rebuke King Ahab for his allowing the full-scale introduction of the worship of Baal. His great zeal was for the Lord and the honor of His name, not for himself and so it is fitting that we know little about him personally but a lot about his ministry and message.

A man called Elias apparently lived in the days of Abraham, who committed the keys of the dispensation of the gospel to Abraham. There are no specific details of this mans ministry or of his mortal life.

The word Elias has many applications and has been placed upon many persons as a title pertaining to both preparatory and retrospective functions.

John the Baptist was referred to as an Elias or preparer or restorer.

The Scripture does not specifically state his date of birth. However since he was contemporaneous with King Ahab of the northern kingdom of Israel who ruled 874-853Bc, many scholars consider circa 900 BC to be a good timeframe.

He was prophesying around 850 BC, so was probably born between 870-900 BC. An exact time isn't mentioned as is the case with many of the people in The Bible.
