Theological / Devotional

Medeba. The modern Madeba, a town east of the Jordan about 40 mi. (65 km.) south of Jerash (Gerasa) and about 15 mi. (24 km.) southeast of the north end of the Dead Sea. Medeba is mentioned in connection with Dibon as having been conquered by Israel (Num. 21:30).

Dibon. This town was 15 mi. (24 km.) directly south of Medeba and 3 1/4 mi. (5 km.) northwest of Aroer, on the river Amon. It was taken by Israel at an early period and rebuilt by Gad. It was here that the famous Moabite Stone was discovered in 1868. The site is now called Dhiban.
