Gill's Notes on the Bible
All ye that are about him, bemoan him,.... The neighbouring nations, such as the Ammonites, and others, are called upon to condole the sad case of Moab; all upon the borders of the country of Moab, either within them or without them:
and all ye that know his name; not only that had heard of his fame and glory, but knew in what grandeur and splendour he lived; these have a form of condolence given them:
say, how is the strong staff broken, [and] the beautiful rod! the mighty men of war, the staff of the nation, in which they trusted, destroyed; their fortified cities demolished; the powerful kingdom, which swayed the sceptre, and ruled in great glory, and was terrible and troublesome to others, now pulled down. The Targum is,
"how is the king broken that did evil, the oppressing ruler!''
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The lamentation over Moab uttered by those âround about him,â i. e., the neighboring nations, and those âthat know his name,â nations more remote, who know little more than that, there is such a people, takes the form of an elegy. The metaphorical expressions, âstaff of strength,â and ârodâ or âscepter of beauty,â indicate the union of power and splendor in the Moabite kingdom.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 48:17. How is the strong staff broken — The sceptre. The sovereignty of Moab is destroyed.
