- Numbers 32:34
And the Gadites built up Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
Commentary on Numbers 32:342 voices
And the children of Gad built,.... Or rather repaired the walls and fortifications, and rebuilt houses which had been demolished in the wars with Sihon and Og; when the following places were taken by the Israelites: Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer; the two first are mentioned in Num 32:
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The children of Gad built - Aroer - This was situated on the river Arnon, Deu 2:36; 2Ki 10:33. It was formerly inhabited by the Emim, a warlike and perhaps gigantic people. They were expelled by the Moabites; the Moabites by the Amorites; and the Amorites by the Israelites. The Gadites then possessed it till the captivity of their tribe, with that of Reuben and the half of the tribe of Manasseh, by the Assyrians, 2Ki 15:29, after which the Moabites appear to have repossessed it, as they seem to have occupied it in the days of Jeremiah, Jer 48:15-20.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Numbers 33:45
They set out from Iyim and camped at Dibon-gad.
Commentary on Numbers 33:451 voice
From there they come in turn to Dibongad [Dibon-gad], which bears the meaning "beehive of temptations." How marvelous is the caution of divine providence! For look, this wanderer on his heavenly journey comes right up to the highest perfection by a succession of virtues; and nevertheless temptations do not leave him, though I hear temptations of a new kind. It means "beehive of temptations." Scripture considers the bee a praiseworthy insect, and kings and commoners use what it produces for their health.

- Joshua 13:9
The area from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the middle of the valley, the whole plateau of Medeba as far as Dibon,
Commentary on Joshua 13:91 voice

- Joshua 13:17
to Heshbon and all its cities on the plateau, including Dibon, Bamoth-baal, Beth-baal-meon,
Commentary on Joshua 13:171 voice
Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain,.... Which was by Medeba, and reached to Dibon: Dibon, and Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon; Dibon was rebuilt by Gad, though it belonged to Reuben, and perhaps was inhabited by both, being on the borders of each; and Bamothbaal signifies the high places of Baal; see Num 22:41; perhaps this is the same with Bamoth in the valley, Num 21:20; and Bethbaalmeon is the same with Baalmeon in Num 32:38; where it is highly probable was a temple of Baal, since both "beth" signifies an house, and "meon" an habitation.

- Joshua 15:22
Kabzeel, Eder, Jagur, Kinah, Dimonah, Adadah,
Commentary on Joshua 15:221 voice
And Kinah,.... Of this city we read of nowhere else: and Dimonah; the second city is thought to be the same with Dibon, Neh 11:25; and Jerom (b) observes, that a place elsewhere was indifferently called in his time Dibon and Dimon; and Adadah; the last of these cities is nowhere met with. (b) Comment. in Esaiam, c. 15. 9.

- Nehemiah 11:25
As for the villages with their fields, some of the people of Judah lived in Kiriath-arba, Dibon, Jekabzeel, and their villages;
Commentary on Nehemiah 11:252 voices
Of the sons of Judah, they dwelled in Kiriath-arba, etc. For Beer-sheba was the boundary of Judah to the south, and the Valley of the Sons of Hinnom to the north next to Jerusalem to the east. Then the cities of the sons of Benjamin …

- Isaiah 15:2
Dibon goes up to its temple to weep at its high places. Moab wails over Nebo, as well as over Medeba. Every head is shaved, every beard is cut off.
Commentary on Isaiah 15:21 voice
(Vers. 2.) The house ascends, and Dibon ascends to the heights in lamentation over Nabo, and over Medaba Moab will howl. Do not be troubled that I am proceeding along the path of history, for you yourself desired that I do so. It is understood, however, that the royal house and the city of Dibon ascend to the idols that are placed on the heights: over Nabo and over Medaba, distinguished cities, the entire province will wail. For in Nabo there was consecrated the idol Chamos, which is called by another name Beelphegor.
Jerome· Commentary on Isaiah, 420Patristic
- Isaiah 15:9
The waters of Dimon are full of blood, but I will bring more upon Dimon— a lion upon the fugitives of Moab and upon the remnant of the land.
Commentary on Isaiah 15:91 voice
(Verse 9) Because the waters of Dibon are filled with blood. Where there was once luxury due to fertile fields and constantly flowing springs, there the streams of blood will flow due to the multitude of those killed. For I will set upon Dibon additional things for those who have fled from Moab, a lion, and the remnants of the land.
Jerome· Commentary on Isaiah, 420Patristic
- Jeremiah 48:18
Come down from your glory; sit on parched ground, O daughter dwelling in Dibon, for the destroyer of Moab has come against you; he has destroyed your fortresses.
Commentary on Jeremiah 48:182 voices
Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon,.... A city in Moab; See Gill on Isa 15:
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
That dost inhabit Dibon - This was anciently a city of the Reubenites, afterwards inhabited by the Moabites, about two leagues north of the river Arnon, and about six to the east of the Dead Sea. - Dahler.

- Jeremiah 48:22
upon Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim,
Commentary on Jeremiah 48:222 voices
And upon Dibon,.... Whose destruction by this time was come upon it, as suggested, Jer 48:18; and upon Nebo: of which see Jer 48:1; and upon Bethdiblathaim: the same with Almondiblathaim in Num 33:46 and Diblath in Eze 6:14.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Beth-diblathaim - i. e., the house of the two cakes of figs, perhaps so called from two hills in its neighborhood. Hos 1:3 note.
