It was a significant city during biblical times, often caught in the territorial struggles between the Israelites and the Moabites. The city is mentioned in various ancient records, including the Mesha Stele, which provides insight into the Moabite perspective of the region's history. Medeba's location on the King's Highway made it a vital trade and military route, contributing to its historical importance.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a city in Moab<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Medeba (5).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מֵידְבָא</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>city in Moab</b></font> (MI<sup>8</sup> <font class="hebrew2">מהדבה</font>) — <a href="/interlinear/numbers/21-30.htm">Numbers 21:30</a>;
