First, in plain English
Elijah is always the Tishbite, the man from Tishbe. Where Tishbe was, in Gilead or further north in Galilee, depends on how you read the Hebrew of 1 Kings 17:1.
Who this is
Tishbite identifies the prophet Elijah as coming from Tishbe, though the exact location of that town, whether in Gilead or further north in Galilee, is debated because of an ambiguity in the Hebrew text of 1 Kings 17:1.
