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.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


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.

By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.


Din'habah. Gen_36:32; 1Ch_1:43 The capital city, and probably the birthplace, of Bela, son of Beor, king of Edom.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


din?ha-ba, din-hā?ba (דּנהבה, dinhābhāh): 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.

Dinhabah
(Hebrews Dinhabah', דִּנְהָבָה, perhaps robbers' den, otherwise ambush; Sept. Δενναβά; 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. Δαναβά, Damnaba) mention a village Dannea (Δαννεά, 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 (איתיהיבת) him as a present." The name is not uncommon among the Shemitic races. Ptolemy (5:15, 24) mentions a Danaba (Δανάβα) in Palmyrene Syria, afterwards a bishop's see, and according to Zosimus (3:27) there was a Danabe (Δανάβη) 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).
