   My heart cries out over Moab; her fugitives flee as far as Zoar, as far as Eglath-shelishiyah. With weeping they ascend the slope of Luhith; they lament their destruction on the road to Horonaim.

   ›Commentary on Isaiah 15:52 voices

   “Moab - Tho' they are a most vile nation. Zoar - Zoar was a town bordering upon Moab. Of destruction - Such a cry as men send forth when they are just falling into the pit of destruction.

   ›Commentary on Jeremiah 48:32 voices

   “A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim,.... Another city of Moab. The word is of the dual number; and, according to Kimchi and Ben Melech, there were two Horons, the upper and the lower; of this place See Gill on Isa 15:5; this also should be destroyed; and so a cry of the inhabitants of it should be heard out of it: spoiling, and great destruction; because the city was spoiled, and a great destruction made in the inhabitants and riches of it.

   “Horonaim - Another city of Moab, near to Luhith. At this latter place the hill country of Moab commenced. “It is a place,” says Dahler, “situated upon a height between Areopolis and Zoar.”

3. Jeremiah 48:5

   For on the ascent to Luhith they weep bitterly as they go, and on the descent to Horonaim cries of distress resound over the destruction:

   ›Commentary on Jeremiah 48:52 voices

   “For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up,.... This is another city, which was built on a high hill, which had a considerable ascent to it, whither those that escaped from Horonaim might flee for safety; but as they went up the hill would weep bitterly, and all the way they went, because of the loss of friends and sustenance, and the danger they themselves were still in.

   “Luhith was situated upon an eminence, and Jeremiah describes one set of weeping fugitives as pressing close upon another. In the going down of Horonaim ... - Rather, in the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distresses of the cry of breaking, i. e., the cry of distress occasioned by the ruin inflicted by the enemy. It was situated in a hollow, probably near the Dead Sea.
