1:5).
Another Bible Timeline fact –>TIRES ?To tire? the head is to adorn it (2 Kings 9:30). As a noun the
word is derived from ?tiara,? and is the rendering of the Hebrews p?er, a
?turban? or an ornament for the head (Ezekiel 24:17; R.V., ?headtire;?
24:23). In Isaiah 3:18 the word saharonim is rendered ?round tires like the
moon,? and in Judges 8:21, 26 ?ornaments,? but in both cases ?crescents?
in the Revised Version.
Another Bible Timeline fact –>TIRHAKAH the last king of Egypt of the Ethiopian (the fifteenth)
dynasty. He was the brother-in-law of So (q.v.). He probably ascended the
throne about B.C. 692, having been previously king of Ethiopia (2 Kings
19:9; Isaiah 37:9), which with Egypt now formed one nation. He was a
great warrior, and but little is known of him. The Assyrian armies under
Esarhaddon, and again under Assur-bani-pal, invaded Egypt and defeated
Tirhakah, who afterwards retired into Ethiopia, where he died, after
reigning twenty-six years.
Another Bible Timeline fact –>TIRSHATHA a word probably of Persian origin, meaning ?severity,?
denoting a high civil dignity. The Persian governor of Judea is so called
(Ezra 2:63; Nehemiah 7:65, 70). Nehemiah is called by this name in
Nehemiah 8:9; 10:1, and the ?governor? (pehah) in 5:18. Probably,
therefore, tirshatha=pehah=the modern pasha.
Another Bible Timeline fact –>TIRZA pleasantness. (1.) An old royal city of the Canaanites, which was
destroyed by Joshua (Joshua 12:24). Jeroboam chose it for his residence,
and he removed to it from Shechem, which at first he made the capital of
his kingdom. It remained the chief residence of the kings of Israel till Omri
took Samaria (1 Kings 14:17; 15:21; 16:6, 8, etc.). Here Zimri perished
amid the flames of the palace to which in his despair he had set fire (1
Kings 16:18), and here Menahem smote Shallum (2 Kings 15:14, 16).
Solomon refers to its beauty (Cant. 6:4). It has been identified with the
modern mud hamlet Teiasir, 11 miles north of Shechem. Others, however,
