What is Elkosh?
EL'KOSH
(God my bow). Nahum is called "the Elkoshite," Nah 1:1, from which it is inferred that Elkosh was his birthplace. The traditional tomb of that prophet is in Assyria, about 2 miles north of Mosul, at a place called Alkush, a town of 300 families. Grove and others, however, place Elkosh in Galilee.
