   and cf. 2d {Timbre}, {Tymbal}.] (Mus.)
   A kind of drum, tabor, or tabret, in use from the highest

         women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

from Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

Timbrel
(Heb. toph), a small drum or tambourine; a tabret (q.v.). The
antiquity of this musical instrument appears from the scriptural
allusions to it (Gen. 31:27; Ex. 15:20; Judg. 11:34, etc.) (See
{MUSIC}.)
