So he departed from there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen in front of him, and he was with the twelfth. Elijah passed by him and cast his cloak upon him.
1 Kings 19:19

Oxen were expensive animals, so Elisha probably came from a very wealthy family. There were twelve teams of oxen plowing together in a field, with Elisha working the twelfth. The others were likely driven by his brothers or servants. Maybe his position with the twelfth team hints that he was another last-born elevated beyond his brothers.
