The Lord said to Elijah, ‘Go back again on the way by which you came. Go to the desert which is near Damascus. When you arrive, anoint Hazael, to make him king of Aram. Also, anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi, to make him king of Israel. Then, anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat to be a prophet after you. Elisha comes from Abel Meholah. 1 Kings 19:15-16
