Contextual Overview
14 You claim that your soldiers are strong and brave. 15 But I am the Lord , the all-powerful King, and I promise that enemies will overpower your towns. Even your best warriors will die in the battle. 16 It won't be long now— disaster will hit Moab! 17 I will order the nearby nations to mourn for you and say, "Isn't it sad? Moab ruled others, but now its glorious power has been shattered." 18 People in the town of Dibon, you will be honored no more, so have a seat in the dust. Your walls will be torn down when the enemies attack. 19 You people of Aroer, go wait beside the road, and when refugees run by, ask them, "What happened?" 20 They will answer, "Moab has been defeated! Weep with us in shame. Tell everyone at the Arnon River that Moab is destroyed." 21 I will punish every town that belongs to Moab, but especially Holon, Jahzah, Mephaath, 22 Dibon, Nebo, Beth-Diblathaim, 23 Kiriathaim, Beth-Gamul, Beth-Meon,

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And judgment is come upon the plain country,.... Of Moab, which was for the most part such, especially that which lay near Arnon; the judgment of God's vengeance, punishment for sin, by the hand of the Chaldeans. The Targum is,
"they that execute vengeance are come:''
upon Holon; a city of Moab; of which see Joshua 15:51; it had its name perhaps from the sandy ground on which it stood. Grotius takes it to be the Alabana of Ptolemy:
and upon Jahazah: the same with Jahaz, Joshua 15:51- :; reckoned by Grotius to be the Jadu of Ptolemy; see Joshua 13:18;
and upon Mephaath; of which see Joshua 13:18; said by Grotius to be the Maipha of Ptolemy.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Holon - This place apparently took its name from caverns in its neighborhood.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
