Strong's Lexicon Dibon: Dibon Original Word: נובֹידִּ Word Origin: Derived from the root דּוּב (dûb), meaning "to pine away" or "to languish." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Dibon in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context. Usage: Dibon is a city mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, primarily associated with the territory of Moab. It is often referred to as "Dibon of Moab" to distinguish it from other locations. The name may imply a place of languishing or pining, possibly reflecting its historical or geographical characteristics. Cultural and Historical Background: Dibon was an ancient city located east of the Jordan River, in the region historically known as Moab. It was a significant city during biblical times, often mentioned in the context of Israel's interactions with the Moabites. The city is notable for the Mesha Stele, an ancient Moabite stone inscription that provides valuable historical insights into the region and its conflicts with Israel. Dibon was initially assigned to the tribe of Gad but later became a Moabite stronghold.
