Nebo. 2 Esdras (vii. 33.) adds, "of the other Nebo," as in some Latin copies a first had been mentioned, (ver. 30.) where we have Geba, (Calmet) here written Gabaa, ver. 26. (Haydock) --- Nebo belonged to some of the other tribes, as well as Phahath-Moab; which shews that some of the people returned, (Calmet) and are particularized, as well as the men of the three tribes of Juda, Benjamin, and Levi.

29. Nebo] not to be confused with the Moabite town (Num_32:3; Num_32:38), to distinguish it from which it is perhaps called in Neh_7:33 ‘the other Nebo’. Its situation has not been accurately determined. Some identify it with Nob, the well-known priestly town (see 1Sa_21:1; 1Sa_22:9 &c.), and in favour of this view it may be noticed that while Nob is mentioned along with Geba, Michmash, Ai, Bethel and Anathoth in Neh_11:31-32, and after Ai, Michmash, Geba, Ramah and Anathoth in Isa_10:28-32, Nebo is not mentioned in either passage. The position of Nob is still uncertain.
Nebo and Nob have been recognised in Beit Nuba, a village on a hill about 16 miles N. W. N. of Jerusalem, but certainly erroneously. The site must be looked for on, or near Mt. Scopus, on the N. of Jerusalem; by some identified with the modern village Isâwiyeh.

Nebo is the name of a well-known Assyrian deity. The name of the place perhaps indicates that in a prehistoric time the worship of this god was maintained here (see note on ‘Anathoth’ Ezr_2:23).
