The meaning of Tobijah in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)
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 (II Chronicles 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 (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 Tobiyah by chresimoi, i.e. Tobheyha).
