1. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Riblah
   fruitful, an ancient town on the northern frontier of Palestine,
   35 miles north-east of Baalbec, and 10 or 12 south of Lake Homs,
   on the eastern bank of the Orontes, in a wide and fertile plain.
   Here Nebuchadnezzar had his head-quarters in his campaign
   against Jerusalem, and here also Necho fixed his camp after he
   had routed Josiah's army at Megiddo (2 Kings 23:29-35; 25:6, 20,
   21; Jer. 39:5; 52:10). It was on the great caravan road from
   Palestine to Carchemish, on the Euphrates. It is described (Num.
   34:11) as "on the eastern side of Ain." A place still called el
   Ain, i.e., "the fountain", is found in such a position about 10
   miles distant. (See JERUSALEM.)
   

2. Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)
