Usage: Medeba is used in the context of a geographical location in the biblical narrative.

Context: Medeba is an ancient city located in the region of Moab, east of the Jordan River. It is first mentioned in the Bible in the context of the territorial allotments given to the tribes of Israel. In Joshua 13:9, Medeba is described as part of the territory assigned to the tribe of Reuben: "Their territory was from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the middle of the valley, the whole plateau of Medeba." The city is also noted in 1 Chronicles 19:7, where it is mentioned in the context of a battle between the Israelites and the Ammonites: "So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, as well as the king of Maacah and his troops, who came and camped near Medeba, while the Ammonites gathered from their cities and came for battle." Medeba was a significant location due to its strategic position on the King's Highway, an ancient trade route. The city is also known for the Medeba Map, a Byzantine-era mosaic map of the Holy Land discovered in the ruins of a church in Medeba.
