bridle, ver. 11, the restless and mischievous Judaizers. He is also to look for the arrival in Crete of
Artemas and Tychicus, ch. (Titus 3:12) and then is to hasten to join St. Paul at Nicopolis, where
the apostle purposes to pass the winter. Zenas and Apollos are in Crete, or expected there; for Titus
is to send them on their journey, and to supply them with whatever they need for it. Whether Titus
did join the apostle at Nicopolis we cannot tell; but we naturally connect the mention of this place
with what St. Paul wrote, at no great interval of time afterward, in the last of the Pastoral Epistles,
(2 Timothy 4:10) for Dalmatia lay to the north of Nicopolis, at no great distance from it. From the
form of the whole sentence, it seems probable that this disciple had been with St. Paul in Rome
during his final imprisonment; but this cannot be asserted confidently. The traditional connection
of Titus with Crete is much more specific and constant, though here again we cannot be certain of
the facts. He said to have been permanent bishop in the island, and to have died there at an advanced
age. The modern capital, Candia, appears to claim the honor of being his burial-place. In the fragment
by the lawyer Zenas, Titus is called bishop of Gortyna. Lastly, the name of Titus was the watchword
of the Cretans when they were invaded by the Venetians.
Titus Justus
(The form given in the Revised Version, of the proselyte Justus, at whose house in Corinth Paul
preached when driven from the synagogue. He is possibly the same as Titus the companion of
Paul.)
Titus, Epistle To
There are no specialties in this epistle which require any very elaborate treatment distinct from
the other Pastoral Letters of St. Paul. It was written about the same time and under similar
circumstances with the other two i.e., from Ephesus, in the autumn of 67 in the interval between
Paul’s two Roman imprisonments.
Tizite, The
the designation of Joha, one of the heroes of David’s army. (1 Chronicles 11:45) It occurs
nowhere else, and nothing is known of the place or family which it denotes.
Toah
(lowly) a Kohathite Levite, ancestor of Samuel and Heman. (1 Chronicles 6:34) (19).
Tob
(good), The land of, a place in which Jephthah took refuge when expelled from home by his
half-brother, (Judges 11:3) and where he remained, at the head of a band of freebooters, till he was
brought back by the sheikhs of Gilead. ver. 5. The narrative implies that the land of Tob was not
far distant from Gilead; at the same time, from the nature of the case it must have lain out toward
the eastern deserts. It is undoubtedly mentioned again in (2 Samuel 10:6,8) as Ishtob, i.e. man of
Tob, meaning, according to a common Hebrew idiom, the men of Tob. After a long interval it
appears again, in the Maccabaean history, 1 Macc. 5:13, in the names Tobie and Tubieni. 2 Macc.
12:17. No identification of the ancient, district with any modern one has yet been attempted.
Tobadonijah
(Adonijah the good), one of the Levites sent by Jehoshaphat through the cities of Judah to teach
the law to the people. (2 Chronicles 17:8) (B.C. 910.)
Tobiah
(goodness of Jehovah).
•“The children of Tobiah” were a family who returned with Zerubbabel, but were unable to prove
their connection with Israel— (Ezra 2:60; Nehemiah 7:62) (B.C. before 536.)
