About this place
Nebo is mentioned as a town in Judah whose inhabitants returned from the Babylonian exile (Ezra 2:29; Neh. 7:33). Some of its inhabitants are also listed among those who married foreign women during the time of Ezra (Ezra 10:43). It is possible that the town was named after an individual named Nebo, but no further information is provided in the Bible. The exact location of this town is unknown.
