Beth-diblathaim

beth-dib-la-tha'-im (beth dibhlathayim; oikos Deblaithaim, literally, "house of Diblathaim"):

A town in Moab mentioned with Dibon and Nebo (Jeremiah 48:22). It is probably identical with Almondiblathaim (Numbers 33:46). Mesha claims to have fortified it along with Mehedeba and Ba`al-me`on (see MOABITE STONE). The place is not yet identified.
