Gabael
GABAEL.1. A distant ancestor of Tobit (Tob 1:1). 2. A friend and kinsman of Tobit residing at Rages in Media. To him Tobit, when purveyor to the king of Assyria, once entrusted, as a deposit, 10 talents of silver (Tob 1:14). When blindness and poverty came on Tobit in Nineveh, he recollected, after prayer, the long-forgotten treasure (Tob 4:1), and wished his son Tobias to fetch it (Tob 4:21). Tobias found a guide, Raphael in disguise, who said he had lodged with Gabael (Tob 5:6). When Tobias married Sarah in Ecbatana, he sent Raphael for the deposit (Tob 9:2).
