Who is Elisha (الْيَسَعَ)?

Prophet Elisha (Arabic: الْيَسَعَ) is mentioned in a couple of ayaat of Qur'an. I can't recall ever reading about him or hearing anything about his biography. Who is he? Do we have any details from the Qur'an and sunnah (and perhaps also israiliyaat)? For example, he is mentioned in Surah Al-An'aam verse 86 , and Surah Saad, verse 48 -- albeit without details.
