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.
