Ribla
Kirjeldus
viljakas, iidne linn Palestiina põhjaosas, 35 miili kirde pool Baalbekist ja 10 või 12 miili lõuna pool Homsist, Orontese idakaldal, laias ja viljakas orus. Siin oli Nebukadnetsari peakorter tema kampaanias Jeruusalemma vastu ning siin seadis ka Necho oma laagri pärast seda, kui ta oli võitnud Joosia armee Megiddos [2Kn 23:29 –35; 2Kn 25:6 , 20, 21; Jr 39:5 ; Jr 52:10 ]. See asus suurel kaubateel Palestiinast Karkemishi, Eufrati äärde. Seda kirjeldatakse [Nm 34:11] kui "Aini idaküljel". Koht, mida endiselt nimetatakse el Ain, s.t. "allikas", asub umbes 10 miili kaugusel sellises kohas. (Vaata JERUUSALEM.)

Riblah
fruitful, an ancient town on the northern frontier of Palestine, 35 miles north-east of Baalbec, and 10 or 12 south of Lake Homs, on the eastern bank of the Orontes, in a wide and fertile plain. Here Nebuchadnezzar had his head-quarters in his campaign against Jerusalem, and here also Necho fixed his camp after he had routed Josiah's army at Megiddo (2Kings 23:29-35; 25:6; 25:20; 25:21; Jer 39:5; 52:10). It was on the great caravan road from Palestine to Carchemish, on the Euphrates. It is described (Num 34:11) as "on the eastern side of Ain." A place still called el Ain, i.e., "the fountain", is found in such a position about 10 miles distant. (See JERUSALEM)
