Nebo

A town in Moab on the tableland east of the Jordan, distinct from Mount Nebo which rises just to its west. The tribe of Reuben rebuilt Nebo and settled there after Israel's conquest of the Transjordan (Numbers 32:3, 38; 1 Chronicles 5:8). Centuries later it passed to Moab and the Mesha Stele actually records Mesha's slaughter of "all seven thousand" inhabitants there in his ninth-century campaign — matching the prophetic oracles against Nebo (Isaiah 15:2; Jeremiah 48:1, 22). Other Israelites named Nebo returned to it after the Babylonian exile (Ezra 2:29; Nehemiah 7:33).
