Strong's Lexicon Tishbiy: Tishbite Original Word: תִּשְׁבִּי Word Origin: Derived from תִּשְׁבִּי (Tishbe), a place name Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Tishbite" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew designation for Elijah. Usage: The term "Tishbiy" refers to an inhabitant of Tishbe, a town in Gilead. It is most notably used to describe Elijah, the prophet, as "Elijah the Tishbite." This designation highlights Elijah's origin and distinguishes him from other individuals named Elijah. Cultural and Historical Background: Tishbe is believed to be a town located in the region of Gilead, east of the Jordan River. During the time of Elijah, this area was part of the Northern Kingdom of Israel. Elijah's identification as a Tishbite emphasizes his connection to this region, which was known for its rugged terrain and independent spirit. Elijah's ministry took place during a tumultuous period in Israel's history, marked by idolatry and conflict with the worship of Baal under King Ahab and Queen Jezebel.
