Tishbe

Traditionally the town of Listib, located 8 miles North of the Jabbok River. Birthplace of Elijah the Prophet. However, it is now thought more likely that Tishbe was located in Naphtali. (Thisbe in Tobit 1:2), because Listib is known to have been uninhabited during the time of the northern kingdom (Harrison, 1982: 861).
