Eliyahu the prophet received from Achiyah HaShiloni close to the end of Shlomo's reign. He received the letter Chet as a memorial to circumcision which was given to Chet, and he is mentioned there [(Yuchsin)]. And he was a Kohen [(chapter "HaMekabel") and the Tosafot there wrote that some say he was from Gad, and proof is that he was from the inhabitants of Gilead, which is the territory of Gad. And some say his father was from Binyamin and his mother from the tribe of Gad, and the Tzelafchad taught him from the tribe of Binyamin and the members of the Chamber of Hewn Stone, and he was a Jerusalemite (Yuchsin in Seder HaDorot).

And some say he was Pinchas (Ralbag) and in Pirkei Nun it appears that he is not Pinchas (see there)]. And he raised Azaryah son of Oded and Chananyah the seer and Yehu his son [(see above, year 3092)], and Ovadyah and Yechezkel son of Zechariyah [(and in Seder HaKabbalah and Tzemach David it is Yechieil 60, see above, year 22)] and Michayahu son of Yimlah—all were prophets. And Yehoram was Kohen Gadol, and after him Yehoyada.

And they received from Achiyah in the year 2962. He received tradition five from prophets and 18 from those at Sinai according to Abarbanel [(Tzemach David)].

Eliyahu HaTishbi from the inhabitants of Gilead [(Melachim 1 17), the Tosafot wrote in Ta'anit 3b that because Israel killed most of the inhabitants of Yavesh Gilead for the matter of the concubine in Giv'ah, and there remained in Yavesh Gilead only about a few people from the city's inhabitants and the rest were from the mixed multitude, therefore he was called "from the inhabitants of Gilead" because Eliyahu was from the inhabitants. So I heard from Rabbi Trotti in the name of Rabbi Yitzchak of Melun, thus concluded.

He was from a city called Toshav (roots) and a baby whom he revived was from the tribe of Yosef (Tosafot, Bava Metzia 114b in the name of Seder Eliyahu Rabbah. The Minim would burn with the fire of Eliyahu like oil (Yosifon)].

His synagogue [and his study hall were in Damascus (Bereishit Yosef). In Jerusalem on the south side is the cave of Tzidkiyahu and the chair of Eliyahu and carved in the wall a Torah scroll, and it is engraved in the wall that no person can come there until the coming of Mashiach (there). And in the city of Haifa on the slope of the mountain is a beautiful and large cave of Eliyahu (there). His forest is in Beit El (there)].

Eliyahu [took the spirit of prophecy (the omissions, page 78). The separations of Eliyahu are HaDatan and Aviram, which Shem Tov began to deal with and we corrected it here. And Aviram was the part of the bull that did not come to the followers of Ba'al because he was more mighty of heart in the matter of the dispute. And these were Shimon the Prince and his companions who died for the sanctification of HaShem's Name (Chesed L'Avraham, Ein 5, chapter 22), and see Bereishit Nun, letter Pei.

And in Megaleh Amukot he wrote that the soul names were Nadav and Avihu].
