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.)
