Judge I see with priest is prophet (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elijah

'is prophet' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'judge i see with priest' is the wordplay.
'judge' becomes 'j' (abbreviation for judge).
'i see' becomes 'ah' (exclamation used to indicate understanding).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'priest' becomes 'eli' (biblical figure).
'j'+'ah'='jah'
'jah' after 'eli' is 'ELIJAH'.

(Other definitions for elijah that I've seen before include "Biblical prophet" , "he prophesied" , "Old Testament prophet" , "Hebrew prophet in the time of Jezebel" , "OT, Islamic prophet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
