DIMON

(Heb. dîmôn)

A Moabite toponym mentioned in Isaiah’s oracle against Moab (Isa. 15:9); also known as “Dibon” (the reading in 1QIsaa,b; cf. Isa. 15:2). Jerome mentioned that in his time the village was called either Dimon or Dibon. Some amend the toponym Madmen in Jer. 48:2 to Dimon.

Both Dimon and Madmen have been identified with Dimneh (217077), 4 km. (2.5 mi.) NW of Rabbah, but this site has not yielded any Iron Age pottery. A large Iron Age site has more recently been discovered just 250 m. (820 ft.) further down the slope overlooking Wadi ibn Hammad and may be Dimon.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
