Jeremiah 48:3 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 48:3

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 Isaiah 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.
