BETH-DIBLATHAIM bĕth’ dĭb lə thā’ əm (Heb. בֵּ֖ית דִּבְלָתָֽיִם), a dual form derived from the word for “pressed fig cakes” so that it is to be understood as “town of fig cakes” (Jer 48:22). The town is mentioned in the stele of Mesha (I. 30) the king of Moab (c. 830 b.c.) who mentions it in a list of newly won towns, “and I ruled over the hundred villages which I had annexed to the land, and I built [...] Medeba and Beth-diblathen and Beth-Ba’al-Meon....” However, the other form of the name Heb. עַלְמֹ֥ן דִּבְלָתָֽיְמָה, “road post of fig cakes,” as a location N of Diban appears in Numbers 33:46, and a similar place name is mentioned in Hosea 1:3 in a difficult passage as the birthplace of Gomer. It is identified as modern Deleilât-esh-Sherqîyeh with some reservation.
