THISBE . The place from which Tobit was carried away captive by the Assyrians ( Tob 1:2 ). Its position is described as being on the right hand (south) of Kedesh-naphtali in Galilee above Asher. No trace of the name has yet been found. Some commentators maintain that This be was the home of Elijah ‘the Tishbite,’ but this is very doubtful.
