Di'mon. (river bed). The waters of Dimon . Some streams on the east of the Dead Sea, in the land of Moab, against which Isaiah uttered denunciation. Isaiah 15:9. Gesenius conjectures that the two names Dimon and Dibon are the same.
Fausset's Bible Dictionary [2]
E. of the Dead Sea in Moab ( Isaiah 15:9). Probably equating to Dibon, as a play between it and dam, "blood"; Dimon's waters shall be full of dam.

Dibon), a city of the Moabites, with streams ("waters") adjacent ( Isaiah 15:9); elsewhere (as in Isaiah 15:2) more properly called Dibon (See Dibon) (q.v.).
