Tobijah in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE

to-bi'-ja (Tobhiyah, "Yahweh is good"): (1) A Levite in the reign of Jehoshaphat whom the king sent to teach in the cities of Judah (2 Ch 17:8; Tobhiyahu; the Septuagint omits). (2) One of a party of Jews that came from Babylon to Jerusalem with gold and silver for a crown for Zerubbabel and Joshua, or for Zerubbabel alone (Zec 6:10,14). The crown was to be stored in the temple in remembrance of the donors (the Septuagint in both passages translates Tobiyah by chresimoi, i.e. Tobheyha).
