Baal-shalisha lay in the district of Shalisha, apparently not far from Gilgal, and is remembered for the man who brought Elisha twenty barley loaves and fresh grain, which the prophet multiplied to feed a hundred people (2 Kings 4:42-44). The episode anticipates Jesus' feeding miracles in the Gospels. It is usually located near Sirisia, north of Lydda, though the identification is not certain.
