Riblah
Penerangan
berbuah, sebuah kota kuno di perbatasan utara Palestina, 35 mil timur laut Baalbec, dan 10 atau 12 mil selatan Danau Homs, di tepi timur Orontes, di dataran luas dan subur. Di sini Nebukadnezar memiliki markas besarnya dalam kampanyenya melawan Yerusalem, dan di sini juga Necho mendirikan kemahnya setelah dia mengalahkan tentara Yosia di Megido [2Raj 23:29 -35; 2Raj 25:6 , 20, 21; Yer 39:5 ; Yer 52:10 ]. Itu berada di jalan karavan besar dari Palestina ke Karkemis, di Efrat. Tempat ini digambarkan [Bil 34:11 ] sebagai "di sisi timur Ain." Sebuah tempat yang masih disebut el Ain, yaitu, "mata air", ditemukan dalam posisi seperti itu sekitar 10 mil jauhnya. (Lihat YERUSALEM.)

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)
