<p> [[Genesis]] 36:32; 1 Chronicles 1:43. The king of Edom, Bela's capital. In the list of [[Edomite]] kings the son does not succeed the father; the monarchy must therefore have been elective, and the kings chosen by the "dukes" (1 Chronicles 1:40-43), who ruled subordinately and contemporaneously with the kings. </p>

<p> <strong> DINHABAH </strong> . The capital city of king [[Bela]] in [[Edom]] ( [[Genesis]] 36:32 = 1 Chronicles 1:43 ). There is some doubt as to its identification. Possibly it is <em> Thenib </em> , E.N.E. from Heshbon. </p>

<p> '''''din´ha''''' -'''''ba''''' , '''''din''''' -'''''hā´ba''''' ( דּנהבה , <i> '''''dinhābhāh''''' </i> ): The royal city of Bela, son of Beor; king of [[Edom]] (Genesis 36:32; 1 Chronicles 1:43 ). There may be a resemblance in the name of <i> '''''Hodbat et''''' </i> - <i> '''''Teneib''''' </i> , about 8 miles East of Heshbon; but this is in the land of Moab, and probably much too far to the North. No satisfactory identification has been proposed. </p>

<p> (Hebrews Dinhabah', דִּנְהָבָה, perhaps robbers' den, otherwise ambush; Sept. Δενναβά; Vulgo Denaba), an Edomitish city, the capital (and probably birthplace) of king [[Bela]] (Genesis 36:32; 1 Chronicles 1:43). [[Eusebius]] and [[Jerome]] (Onomast. s.v. Δαναβά, Damnaba) mention a village Dannea (Δαννεά, 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 1 Chronicles 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 (איתיהיבת ) him as a present." The name is not uncommon among the Shemitic races. [[Ptolemy]] (5:15, 24) mentions a [[Danaba]] (Δανάβα ) in Palmyrene Syria, afterwards a bishop's see, and according to [[Zosimus]] (3:27) there was a Danabe (Δανάβη ) 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). </p>
