User:Auric/Deblatha

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Deblatha or Diblah is a place mentioned in the Book of Ezekiel[1]. No modern locality has yet been matched to it. It may be a corruption of the name Riblah.

When the blow falls, I will make their countryside, once so thickly inhabited, into a wilderness; Deblatha itself is not more forlorn. And who shall doubt the Lord’s power?

— New Advent Bible, [2]

It is also found in Brenton's English Translation of the Septuagint (ex: 2 Chronicles 36:2: And Pharao Nechao bound him in Deblatha in the land of Aemath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem. [3])
