High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Elias Abraham Rosenberg (c. 1810 – July 10, 1887) was a Jewish immigrant to the United States who, despite a questionable past, became a trusted friend and adviser of King Kalakaua of Hawaii. Regarded as eccentric, he lived in San Francisco in the 1880s, working as peddler and selling illegal lottery tickets. In 1886, he traveled to Hawaii and performed as a fortune-teller. He came to Kalakaua's attention, and endeared himself to the king with favorable predictions about the future of Hawaii. Rosenberg received royal appointments to several positions: kahuna-kilokilo (royal soothsayer), customs appraiser, and guard. He was given lavish gifts by the king, but was distrusted by other royal advisers and satirized in the Hawaiian press.
