I noticed that also. Based on a chart I have for biblical Greek text, it would sound something like e-li-sai-u, the "ai" as in "aisle". The omicron-upsilon (OY) ending is supposed to sound like "u", as in "rude".
The KJV I have, which is a fairly late edition, also uses Eliseus. So they must use a different methodology of some sort for their transliterations, to end up with the "s" ending.
