- TOBIJAH, or Tobiah. The Lord commanded the Prophet Zechariah to ask of Tobijah, Heldai, (otherwise Helem) Jedaiah, and Josiah, (otherwise Hen) Son of Zephaniah, who were lately returned from Babylon, a certain quantity of Gold and Silver, which they had intended for an Offering to the Temple, to make Crowns thereof, to place upon the Head of Joshua the Son of Josedech, High-Priest of the Jews. The Rabbins are of opinion, that these four Persons, of whom Zechariah received this Gold and Silver, were the same as Daniel, Ananias, Azariah, and Mishael.
