DIMON, Isaiah 15:9 , and DI-BON-GAD, Numbers 33:45,46 , a town of Gad, Numbers 32:34 , but afterwards of Reuben, Joshua 13:17 . It lay in a plain just north of the Arnon, and was the first encampment of the Israelites upon crossing that river. Later we find it in the hands of the Moabites, Isaiah 15:2 Jeremiah 48:22 . Traces of it remain at a place now called Diban.
