Diblath

From BiblePortal Wikipedia

Fausset's Bible Dictionary [1]

Rather Diblah ( Ezekiel 6:14). "I will make the land desolate from the wilderness ( Midbar ) to Diblah," i.e. from the unenclosed pastures S. and S.E. of Palestine to some town in the extreme N., probably Riblab, the Hebrew letter Resh ( ר ) and the Hebrew letter Daleth ( ד ), from close resemblance, becoming easily interchanged by copyists. Here it was that Nebuchadnezzar had sat in judgment on the last Jewish king, Zedekiah, and killed his sons before his eyes, and then blinded him and slain the chief men of Jerusalem.

Morrish Bible Dictionary [2]

In the Hebrew it is Diblah.  Ezekiel 6:14 . Place in the north of Canaan, conjectured by some to be the same as Riblah but only by supposing an error of the copyist, D (ד) being written for R (ר) . Others identify it with Dibl, 33 7' N, 35 22' E .

Smith's Bible Dictionary [3]

Dib'lath. (Accurately Diblah ). A place named only in  Ezekiel 6:14. Probably only another form of Riblah .

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [4]

(Hebrew, with ה directive, Dibla'Thah , דַּבְלָתָה , "towards Diblath," or rather Towards Diblah ; Sept. Δεβλαθά ; Vulg. Deblatha ), a place mentioned as contiguous to a desert of the kingdom of Israel ( Ezekiel 6:14), where, instead of דַּבְלָה , i.e. Diblah , the text ought probably ( (See Diblathaim) ) to read רַבְלָה , RIBLAH (See Riblah) (q.v.).
