Where is Moab?


A prophecy against Moab:
Ar in Moab is ruined,
    
destroyed in a night!
Kir in Moab is ruined,
    
destroyed in a night! Isaiah 15:1
Today, Moab would be found in southern Jordan, across the Dead Sea from Israel.  Nebo is a mountain on the border of Jordan and Israel. Medeba was a town (Numbers 21:30, Joshua 13:9) off the Jordan river.
Heshbon, Elealeh, and Jazer are mentioned to the north of Beth-jeshimoth; Madaba, Beth-gamul, and Mephaath to the east of Baalmeon; and Dibon, Aroer, Bezer, Jahaz, and Kirhareseth to the south of Kiriathaim. The principal rivers of Moab mentioned in the Bible are the Arnon, the Dimon or Dibon, and the Nimrim.
