Dinhabah
Dinhabah
(Hebrews Dinhabah’, , perhaps robbers’ den, otherwise ambush; Sept. ; Vulgo Denaba), an Edomitish city, the capital (and probably birthplace) of king Bela (Gen 36:32; 1Ch 1:43). Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v. , Damnaba) mention a village Dannea (, Jerome Damnaba) eight miles from Areopolis, or Ar of Moab (Jerome, “on the road to Armon”), and another on Mount Peor, seven miles from Esbus (Heshbon); but neither of these has claim to be the Dinhabah of Scripture. R. Joseph, in his Targum (on 1Ch 1:43, ed. Wilkins), finds a significance in the name. After identifying Balaam, the son of Beor, with Laban the Syrian, he adds, “And the name of his capital city was Dinhabah, for it was given () him as a present.” The name is not uncommon among the Shemitic races. Ptolemy (5:15, 24) mentions a Danaba () in Palmyrene Syria, afterwards a bishop’s see, and according to Zosimus (3:27) there was a Danabe () in Babylonia. The place in question was doubtless one of the petty localities of Mount Seir, possibly at Dibdiba, a little N.E. of Petra (Smith’s list in Robinson’s Researches, 3, App. page 114, and 1, Map).

Dinhabah
Gen 36:32; 1Ch 1:43. The king of Edom, Bela’s capital. In the list of Edomite kings the son does not succeed the father; the monarchy must therefore have been elective, and the kings chosen by the “dukes” (1Ch 1:40-43), who ruled subordinately and contemporaneously with the kings.

Dinhabah
DINHABAH.The capital city of king Bela in Edom (Gen 36:32 = 1Ch 1:43). There is some doubt as to its identification. Possibly it is Thenib, E.N.E. from Heshbon.

Dinhabah
dinha-ba, din-haba (, dinhabhah): The royal city of Bela, son of Beor; king of Edom (Gen 36:32; 1Ch 1:43). There may be a resemblance in the name of Hodbat et-Teneib, about 8 miles East of Heshbon; but this is in the land of Moab, and probably much too far to the North. No satisfactory identification has been proposed.
