  • A city in Moab (Numbers 21:30 ); called also Dibon-gad (33:45), because it was built by Gad and Dimon (Isaiah 15:9 ). It has been identified with the modern Diban, about 3 miles north of the Arnon and 12 miles east of the Dead Sea. (See Moabite Stone.)

  • A city of the tribe of Judah, inhabited after the Captivity (Nehemiah 11:25 ); called also Dimonah (Joshua 15:22 ). It is probably the modern ed-Dheib.
