| General Location Notes | Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary (2003) (Lebo-hamath): “east of the Jordan” |
| Precise Coordinates Notes | given the mention of the Jordan, this point must be near the southern Beqaa Valley; however, I can find no other reference to this location; these coordinates are for Libbaya or Lubieh, but I have no reason to believe that this point is what is in mind--it’s northwest of the Jordan rather than east |
