Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
(tumult). Fifth son of Japheth (Gen. 10:2; 1 Chron. 1:5). His descendants supposedly inhabited the country between the Caspian and Euxine seas (Isa. 66:19; Ezek. 27:13; 32:26).
Concise Bible Dictionary:
Son of Japheth, and his descendants, who are supposed to have settled on the south-east of the Euxine or Black Sea, and were known as the Tibareni. They sent slaves and brass to Tyre. Their descendants with Rosh and Meshech will be among the enemies of the Jews in a future day, and will be destroyed (Gen. 10:2; 1 Chron. 1:5; Isa. 66:19; Ezek. 27:13; Ezek. 32:26; Ezek. 38:2-3; Ezek. 39:1). The district they occupied now forms a part of the Russian Empire, which well agrees with their being associated with Rosh (Russia) and the Muscovites spoken of in Ezekiel 38. The Moschi and Tibareni are constantly associated in the Assyrian inscriptions under the names of Muskai and Tuplai, which latter very nearly approaches Tubal.
