sibmah - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Sibmah
  coolness; fragrance, a town in Reuben, in the territory of Moab,
  on the east of Jordan (Josh. 13:19); called also Shebam and
  Shibmah (Num. 32:3, 38). It was famous for its vines (Isa. 16:9;
  Jer. 48:32). It has been identified with the ruin of Sumieh,
  where there are rock-cut wine-presses. This fact explains the
  words of the prophets referred to above. It was about 5 miles
  east of Heshbon.
