Topic: Tobiah


In the News (Mon 28 Dec 09)

  
  Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary on the Bible
The particular case of Tobiah, who was an Ammonite, and to whom, it is likely, the historian had an eye in the recital of the law (v.
Probably some other of his family had married Tobiah's, and (would you think it?) the high priest thought the alliance an honour to his family, and was very proud of it, though really it was his greatest disgrace, and what he had reason to be ashamed of.
Tobiah, being a man of business, has often occasion to be at Jerusalem, I doubt upon no good design.

 Clarke's Commentary - Psalms 59
Tobiah and his son were allied by marriage to the Jews; for Eliashib the priest had married his grandson to the daughter of Sanballat; and this produced a connection with Tobiah, the fast friend of Sanballat.
Besides this very priest had given Tobiah one of the great chambers in the house of the Lord, where formerly the meat-offerings, the frankincense, the vessels, and the tithe of the corn and wine and oil were kept; Neh.
Tobiah was expelled from the house of the Lord by Nehemiah, and all his household stuff thrown out of doors: Neh.

 Nehemiah: Role Model for 2001   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Because the Sanballats and Tobiahs of this world are devoid of any real intellectual or spiritual substance, they always have to resort to subterfuge in their bid to upset the objects of their enmity.
Tobiah was also a smooth operator who could worm his way into the heart of God's work in order to be able to oppose it.
Remember then, always show these Sanballats and Tobiahs that they are of little consequence to you, and that your divinely-appointed work is far too important to be messed up by their pathetic schemes.

 Debra Heights Wesleyan Church :: Resources
One of the temple storerooms was apparently converted into a sort of stateroom for Tobiah whenever he came to town.
In the same way as Nehemiah expelled Tobiah from the house of the Lord, we should be careful to allow neither our churches nor our hearts to be infiltrated by the world.
"Tobiah acquired a temple chamber presumably because the storeroom, which customarily held material for the support of the clergy, was either empty or seriously depleted." Thus, the first incident drew attention to the second.

Now, one of the freaky parts is that it turns out that Tobiah and Sarah are supposed to get married according to the Law of Moses, because they're related to each other.
Anyway, it all works out -- Tobiah marries his cousin Sarah, drives out Asmodeus (who gets bound hand and foot by Raphael), Sarah's father insists that he stay for fourteen days of feasting, his parents think he's dead, but then he returns with new wife and old money, and cures his father of the cataracts.
For example, his gratuitous mention of Tobiah’s dog (Tob 6:1; 11:4), an animal held in low esteem in the Bible, strikes many readers as a remnant from some other tale (like the Dragon Slayer in Admetus, Odysseus, or the dog in Zoroastrianism, Srasha).
