We meet with this name for three different places. There was a city of the Reubenites called Nebo, (Numbers 32:38) —and according to Jeremiah, in his days the Moabites had it in possession. (Jeremiah 48:1-47) There was also a city of Judah of this name in the days of Ezra and Nehemiah. (Ezra 2:29; Nehemiah 7:33) And the famous mountain on which Moses died was called Nebo. (Deuteronomy 34:1; Deu 34:5) One of the idols of Babylon bore the name of Nebo. (Isaiah 46:1) The root of the name seems to be much the same as that of Nebat.
