Rather DIBLAH (Ezekiel 6:14). "I will make the land desolate from the wilderness (midbar ) to Diblah," i.e. from the unenclosed pastures S. and S.E. of Palestine to some town in the extreme N., probably Riblab, the Hebrew letter Resh ( ר ) and the Hebrew letter Daleth ( ד ), from close resemblance, becoming easily interchanged by copyists. Here it was that Nebuchadnezzar had sat in judgment on the last Jewish king, Zedekiah, and killed his sons before his eyes, and then blinded him and slain the chief men of Jerusalem.
