This Dibon entry refers to the Judahite town inhabited again after the exile, not the better-known Moabite Dibon. It is important because similar names can easily blur separate southern and eastern traditions. First appears in Neh 11:25.1
AI summary: Dibon matters here as part of Judah's restored settlement memory after exile. The record should be read distinctly from the more famous Moabite city of the same name.1
A city of the tribe of Judah, inhabited after the Captivity (Neh. 11:25); called also Dimonah (Josh. 15:22). It is probably the modern ed-Dheib. 3
