Commentary
3 notes on this verseAnd upon Kerioth,.... Which once belonged to the tribe of Judah, Jos 15:25; from this place Judas Iscariot is by some thought to have his name; as if it was "Ish Kerioth", "a man of Kerioth". Grotius takes it to be the Goiratha of Ptolemy: and upon Bozrah; not in Idumea, but in Moab; the same with Bezer, Jos 21:36; and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, for and near; all the rest of the cities not named, whether nearer or farther off from Aroer.
This site's exposition
come down from thy glory
on Jeremiah 48:18-28
Dibon is told to come down from glory and sit in thirst, Aroer to stand by the road and ask the fugitives what is done, and then the catalogue runs the plain country town by town, Holon, Jahazah, Mephaath, Dibon, Nebo, and the rest, judgment given as an itinerary. The horn cut off and the arm broken state the end in the body's own emblems of strength. The ground returns at verse 26, he magnified himself against the Lord, with verse 27's question, was not Israel a derision unto thee?, the mockery of the exiles' calamity now answered in kind, and the counsel to dwell in the rock like the dove nesting at the hole's mouth is the oracle's one mercy in this stretch.

Kerioth - A synonym of Ar, the old capital of Moab. It appears to have been a considerable place, and has been identified with El-Korriat, situated on the long ridge of Mount Attarus. Bozrah - Probably the Bosora mentioned in 1 Macc. 5:26 in company with Bosor, i. e., Bezer. Since the word means sheepfolds, it was no doubt a common name for places in this upland region, fit only for pasturage.
