RIBLAH

(Heb. riḇlâ)

A city (modern Ribleh) located on the east bank of the Orantes River, occupying a strategic position in the northern Beqaʿ Valley. In 609 b.c.e. the Egyptians under Neco II asserted control over Syria-Palestine and deposed Jehoahaz of Judah, imprisoning him at Riblah and placing his brother Eliakim (Jehoiakim) on the throne in Jerusalem (2 Kgs. 23:31-35). Twenty years later, it was at Riblah that Nebuchadnezzar punished Zedekiah of Judah before exiling him to Babylon (Jer. 39:5-7 = 52:9-11 = 2 Kgs. 25:6-7). The Riblah mentioned as part of the territory of the Israelites in Num. 34:11 is a different site, as yet unidentified.

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.
