tṓ - bı̄´ja ( טוביּה , ṭōbhı̄yāh , "Yahweh is good"):

(1) A L evite in the reign of Jehoshaphat whom the king sent to teach in the cities of Judah (2 Chronicles 17:8; טוביּהוּ , ṭōbhı̄yāhū ; 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 (Zechariah 6:10 , Zechariah 6:14 ). The crown was to be stored in the temple in remembrance of the donors (the Septuagint in both passages translates טוביּה , ṭōbhı̄yāh by χρήσιμοι , chrḗsimoi , i.e. טוביה , ṭōbheyhā ).
