Derived from Thisbe in upper Galilee to the S. of Kedesh in Naphtali; see the apocryphal Tobit 1:2. Elijah was born here, but settled in Gilead as a stranger. See 1 Kings 17:1, "who was of the settlers (mitoshabey ) of Gilead." Kurtz less probably (see Keil on 1 Kings 17:1) supposes Tishbite to be the Tisieh mentioned by Robinson (Pal. iii. 153) in Gilead S. of Bostra. Paine identifies Tishbite with Listib overhung by the monastery Mar Ilyas (Elijah).
