Theological / Devotional

Riblah. A site on the Orontes River, about 10 mi. (16 km.) south of Kadesh, and about 200 mi. (320 km.) north of the country of Judah. Nebuchadnezzar later made Riblah his headquarters during his campaigns in Palestine (2 Kings 25:6, 21; Jer. 39:5-7 ; 52:9-11, 27). On his return from Carchemish, Necho required Jehoahaz to appear before him at Riblah, and ascertaining the situation under which he had become king, put him in bonds. Riblah is now Ribleh.

To a tribute. Necho planned at this time to make Judah a vassal of Egypt, and for this reason deposed Jehoahaz.
