Riblah - north of Palestine (see Jeremiah 1:14; Numbers 34:11). Hamath is identified by commentators with Antioch, in Syria, on the Orontes, called also Epiphania, from Antiochus Epiphanes.
Gave judgment upon him - literally, spake judgments with him - i:e., brought him to trial as a common criminal, not as a king. He had violated his oath (Ezekiel 17:13-19; 2 Chronicles 36:13).
