Tell Dibbine is an archaeological site 2 km north ofMarjayoun in the plain ofEl Marj in theNabatieh Governorate. It dates at least to theNeolithic.^[1] It was also known in the ancient world as Ijon. Many artifacts have been found including statues (currently lost), columns, and many more... The people of this settlement could beHivites, or most possibly Phoenician.

According to theBooks of Kings in theHebrew Bible, Ijon and the nearby towns ofDan andAbel-beth-maachah were sacked byBen-Hadad I ofAram Damascus in the ninth century BCE during his war with the northernKingdom of Israel. Ijon is referred to once again in the same book as one of the towns thatTiglath-Pileser III of theNeo-Assyrian Empire conquered from Israel beforedeporting the local Israelites to Assyria, around 733 BCE.

After this period, there appears to be no archeological evidence of settlements which could imply it was abandoned during this period, until around 500 B.C. After this date, the tell seems to have been settled by Greco-Phoenician colonists as a trade center.

Further archeological evidence indicates that Ijon flourished during the Roman period as a transit spot for traders. Byzantine settlement is also evident by coins found in the area, yet the Tell appears to have started declining in importance and population for unknown reasons.

It is possible thatNiqbata of Ayun (Hebrew:נקבתה דעיון), a place referenced in theBaraita on the "Boundaries of theLand of Israel" as part of the delineation of the northwestern border of Jewish resettlement following the return fromBabylonian exile, refers to a place near the tell. Scholars suggest that the text probably reflects a historical reality dating to theHasmonean orHerodian periods, around the 2nd or 1st century BCE.^[2]

After the Byzantine period, traces of Arabian conquest of the area appear, yet it only seems to have lasted for no more than a few decades. The tell at this point may have been totally abandoned or settled by a tiny population returning to a small village. The most logical explanation could be that the settlement could have moved to the modern village of Dibbin. The Ottomans may have used the Tell as a lookout points and possibly set up a barracks there, yet no evidence implies that during the Ottoman period any kind of settlement remained there.
