Today, it is identified with the archaeological site of Dhiban in modern-day Jordan. The city is strategically positioned on the King's Highway, an ancient trade route that connected the region with the broader Near Eastern world. Dibon's location made it a significant center for commerce and military activity throughout its history.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>Dibon is mentioned several times in the Old Testament, primarily in the context of the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land and the territorial disputes between Israel and Moab. In <a href="/numbers/21-30.htm">Numbers 21:30</a>, Dibon is referenced in a victory song celebrating Israel's conquest over the Amorites: "But we have overthrown them; Heshbon is destroyed as far as Dibon; we have demolished them as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba" .<br><br>The city is also noted in the allotment of land to the tribes of Israel. In <a href="/numbers/32-3.htm">Numbers 32:3</a>, the tribes of Reuben and Gad request the lands of Jazer and Gilead, including Dibon, for their inheritance: "Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon" . Later, in <a href="/numbers/32-34.htm">Numbers 32:34</a>, the Reubenites rebuild Dibon: "And the sons of Gad built Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer" .<br><br>In <a href="/isaiah/15-2.htm">Isaiah 15:2</a>, Dibon is mentioned in a prophecy against Moab, highlighting its significance and the impending judgment: "Dibon goes up to its temple, to its high places to weep; Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba. Every head is shaved, every beard is cut off" . This passage underscores the city's religious importance and its role in Moabite worship practices.<br><br><b>Archaeological Insights:</b><br><br>The archaeological site of Dhiban has yielded significant findings that illuminate the historical and cultural context of ancient Dibon. Excavations have uncovered remnants of fortifications, pottery, and inscriptions, including the famous Mesha Stele. This stele, discovered in 1868, is a Moabite stone inscription that provides a parallel account to the biblical narrative, detailing King Mesha of Moab's rebellion against Israel. The stele corroborates the biblical account of Moabite-Israelite interactions and offers insights into the language, religion, and politics of the time.<br><br><b>Cultural and Religious Significance:</b><br><br>Dibon was not only a political and military hub but also a center of religious activity. The city's high places, mentioned in <a href="/isaiah/15-2.htm">Isaiah 15:2</a>, indicate the presence of altars or temples dedicated to the worship of Moabite deities, such as Chemosh. The religious practices in Dibon reflect the broader Moabite culture, which often stood in contrast to the monotheistic worship of Yahweh by the Israelites.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br><br>The biblical narrative surrounding Dibon highlights themes of divine judgment, covenant, and the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel. The city's repeated mention in the context of Israel's conquests and territorial claims underscores the fulfillment of God's promise to give the land to the descendants of Abraham. Additionally, the prophetic declarations against Moab, including Dibon, serve as a reminder of God's sovereignty over all nations and His ultimate authority in executing justice.<br><br>Dibon's account, as recorded in the Bible, serves as a testament to the historical realities of the ancient Near East and the unfolding of God's redemptive plan through His chosen people, Israel.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Dibon</span><p>abundance of knowledge<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Dibon</span><p>(<i>wasting</i>). <ol> <li>A town on the east side of Jordan, in the rich pastoral country, which was taken possession of and rebuilt by the children of Gad.

In <a href="/joshua/13-17.htm">Joshua 13:17</a> it is reckoned to Reuben. Along with other cities in the territory North of the Arnon, Dibon changed hands several times between Moab and Israel.
