Neballat was a town in the territory of Benjamin, resettled by Israelites returning from the Babylonian exile. The name may be related to the root meaning "foolishness" or may derive from a different Semitic root meaning "to forge" or "to shape." It is identified with modern-day Beit Nabala, located northwest of Lydda.
This town appears only in Nehemiah 11:34, in a list of villages resettled by the returning exiles. The cataloging of resettled towns demonstrates the careful restoration of the promised land after exile. Each named settlement represents the tangible fulfillment of God's promise to restore His people to their inheritance, showing that divine faithfulness extends to the geographical details of restoration.
