Contextual Overview

14How can you say, 'We are warriors, mighty men ready for battle'? 15Moab has been destroyed and its towns invaded; the best of its young men have gone down in the slaughter, declares the King whose name is the LORD of Hosts. 16Moab's calamity is at hand, and his affliction is rushing swiftly. 17Mourn for him, all you who surround him, everyone who knows his name; tell how the mighty scepter is shattered-the glorious staff! 18Come down from your glory; sit on parched ground, O daughter dwelling in Dibon, for the destroyer of Moab has come against you; he has destroyed your fortresses. 19Stand by the road and watch, O resident of Aroer! Ask the man fleeing or the woman escaping, 'What has happened?' 20Moab is put to shame, for it has been shattered. Wail and cry out! Declare by the Arnon that Moab is destroyed. 21Judgment has come upon the high plain-upon Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath, 22upon Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim, 23upon Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, Beth-meon,

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Kiriathaim: Jeremiah 48:1, Genesis 14:5, Shaveh Kiriathaim, Joshua 13:19, Kirjathaim

Bethmeon: Numbers 32:38, Baal-meon, Joshua 13:17, Beth-baal-meon

Reciprocal: Isaiah 15:2 - is gone Ezekiel 25:9 - Baalmeon

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And upon Kirjathaim,.... Of which see Jeremiah 48:1;

and upon Bethgamul; this is nowhere else mentioned in Scripture; supposed by Grotius to be the Maccala of Ptolemy, put for Camala:

and upon Bethmeon: of which see Isaiah 15:2.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Beth-meon - Meon is probably the Moabite Olympus, and thus Beth-Baal-Meon, the full name of this town Joshua 13:17, would signify the place where the heavenly Baal was worshipped.
