tob , tōb ( טוב ארץ , 'erec ṭōbh , "a good land"; γῆ Τώβ , gḗ Tṓb ): Hither Jephthah escaped from his brethren after his father's death ( Judges 11:3 ), and perfected himself in the art of war, making forays with "the vain fellows" who joined him. Here the elders of Gilead found him, when, reduced to dire straits by the children of Ammon, they desired him to take command of their army (Jsg 11:5 ff). This country contributed 12,000 men to the forces of the allies, who with the Ammonites were defeated by Israel ( 2 Samuel 10:8 ). In 1 Macc 5:13 we read of the land of Tubins where the Jews, about 1,000 men, were slain by the Gentiles, their wives and children being carried into captivity. The Tubieni, "men of Tobit" of 2 Macc 12:17, were probably from this place. Ptolemy (v. 19) speaks of Thauba, a place to the Southwest of Zobah, which may possibly be Tobit. The Talmud (Neubauer, Geog. du Talmud , 239) identifies the land of Tobit with the district of Hippene. Tobit would then be represented by Hippos, modern Susı̄yeh , to the Southwest of Fiḳ on the plateau East of the Sea of Galilee. Perhaps the most likely identification is that supported by G. A. Smith ( HGHL , 587), with eṭ - Ṭaiyibeh , 10 miles South of Umm Ḳeis (Gadara). The name is the same in meaning as Tobit.
