Usage: Riblah is a proper noun referring to a location in ancient Syria, significant in biblical history. Context: Riblah is a notable city located in the land of Hamath, which is in present-day Syria. It is mentioned several times in the Hebrew Bible, primarily in the context of military and political events. Riblah served as a strategic military base due to its location on the main north-south trade route between Egypt and Mesopotamia. It was here that King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon set up his headquarters during his campaign against Jerusalem. The city is most famously known as the place where King Zedekiah of Judah was brought before Nebuchadnezzar after being captured. In 2 Kings 25:6, it is recorded: "They captured the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where they pronounced judgment on him." Additionally, Riblah was the site where the sons of Zedekiah were killed before his eyes, and he was subsequently blinded and taken to Babylon (2 Kings 25:7). The city is also mentioned in the context of the execution of the Judean officials (Jeremiah 52:10-11). Riblah's historical and geographical significance is underscored by its repeated mention in the narratives of the fall of Jerusalem and the Babylonian exile.
