Consolation, the seventh of the so-called minor prophets, an [[Elkoshite]]. All we know of him is recorded in the book of his prophecies. He was probably a native of [[Galilee]], and after the deportation of the ten tribes took up his residence in [[Jerusalem]]. Others think that [[Elkosh]] was the name of a place on the east bank of the [[Tigris]], and that [[Nahum]] dwelt there.
