RIBLAH

RIBLAH (Ῥαβλαάμ), a city “in the land of Hamath,” where Jehoahaz or Shallum was cast into chains by Pharaoh Necho, and where Nebuchadnezzar subsequently gave judgment on Zedekiah. (2 Kings, 23.33, 25.6.) We find Nebuchadnezzar there again, after an interval of ten years, when the last remnant was carried captive and slain there. (Jerem. 52.27.)

[G.W]
