Contextual Overview
1 Concerning Mo'av, this is what Adonai -Tzva'ot, the God of Isra'el, says: "Woe to N'vo, for it is ravaged; Kiryatayim disgraced and captured. Misgav is put to shame, distressed. 2 "In Mo'av, nothing is left to praise. At Heshbon they plotted her downfall: ‘Come, we'll cut her off as a nation.' You too, Madmein, will be silenced; the sword pursues behind you. 3 An agonized cry from Horonayim, ruin, terrible devastation! 4 Mo'av has been shattered; the cries of her young ones are heard, 5 as they ascend the slopes of Luchit, weeping bitterly as they climb. On the road down to Horonayim shrieks of destruction ring out." 6 Flee! Save your lives! Be strong, like a tamarisk in the desert. 7 Because you trust in your deeds and your wealth, you too will be captured. Together with his priests and princes, K'mosh will go into exile. 8 A destroyer will descend on every city, no city will escape. The valley too will perish, the plain will be laid waste, as Adonai as said. 9 Give Mo'av wings, so it can fly and get away. Its cities will become ruins, with no one to live in them. 10 A curse on him who does the work of Adonai carelessly! A curse on him who withholds his sword from blood!

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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 :-; 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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Omit shall be. “Spoiling and great destruction,” literally breaking, is the cry heard from Horonaim Isaiah 15:5.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
