Subjects in this Topic:
(Hebrews Dinhabah', ãִּðְäָáָä , perhaps robbers' den, otherwise ambush; Sept. ÄåííáâÜ ; Vulgo Denaba), an Edomitish city, the capital (and probably birthplace) of king Bela (Gen_36:32; 1Ch_1:43). Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v. ÄáíáâÜ , Damnaba) mention a village Dannea ( ÄáííåÜ , Jerome Damnaba) eight miles from Areopolis, or Ar of Moab (Jerome, "on the road to Armon"), and another on Mount Peor, seven miles from Esbus (Heshbon); but neither of these has claim to be the Dinhabah of Scripture. R. Joseph, in his Targum (on 1Ch_1:43, ed. Wilkins), finds a significance in the name. After identifying Balaam, the son of Beor, with Laban the Syrian, he adds, "And the name of his capital city was Dinhabah, for it was given ( àéúéäéáú ) him as a present." The name is not uncommon among the Shemitic races. Ptolemy (5:15, 24) mentions a Danaba ( ÄáíÜâá ) in Palmyrene Syria, afterwards a bishop's see, and according to Zosimus (3:27) there was a Danabe ( ÄáíÜâç ) in Babylonia. The place in question was doubtless one of the petty localities of Mount Seir, possibly at Dibdiba, a little N.E. of Petra (Smith's list in Robinson's Researches, 3, App. page 114, and 1, Map).
