Nebo (Place) — Tyndale Open Bible Dictionary

1. City located on the pastoral tablelands of the Transjordan and desired by the sons of Gad and Reuben (Nm 32:3). Reuben was apportioned this town (Nm 32:38; 1 Chr 5:8) but eventually lost it to King Mesha of Moab around 850 BC. Later, Isaiah (Is 15:2) and Jeremiah (Jer 48:1, 22 OET JER 48:1 · OET JER 48:22) predicted Nebo’s destruction as part of God’s judgment against Moab.
