This Nebo entry refers to the Moabite town and region east of the Jordan, not primarily to the Babylonian deity or only to Mount Nebo. It is important because it appears in tribal settlement lists and later in prophetic judgments on Moab. First appears in Num 32:3.1

AI summary: Nebo on this page belongs to the contested eastern plateau rather than chiefly to the mountain associated with Moses' final view. In Numbers and Chronicles it appears in the network of towns linked with Reubenite settlement, while Isaiah and Jeremiah include it in their announcements against Moab. That gives the place a double role as both inhabited territory and an object of later prophetic lament. The cross references present Nebo as a Moabite-region town whose significance lies in settlement history and judgment oracles.1

A Chaldean god whose worship was introduced into Assyria by Pul (Isa. 46:1; Jer. 48:1). To this idol was dedicated the great temple whose ruins are still seen at Birs Nimrud. A statue of Nebo found at Calah, where it was set up by Pul, king of Assyria, is now in the British Museum. 3
