Contextual Overview
14 "Men of Moab, why do you claim to be heroes, brave soldiers tested in war? 15 Moab and its cities are destroyed; its finest young men have been slaughtered. I am the king, the Lord Almighty, and I have spoken. 16 Moab's doom approaches; its ruin is coming soon. 17 "Mourn for that nation, you that live nearby, all of you that know its fame. Say, ‘Its powerful rule has been broken; its glory and might are no more.' 18 You that live in Dibon, come down from your place of honor and sit on the ground in the dust; Moab's destroyer is here and has left its forts in ruins. 19 You that live in Aroer, stand by the road and wait; ask those who are running away, find out from them what has happened. 20 ‘Moab has fallen,' they will answer, ‘weep for it; it is disgraced. Announce along the Arnon River that Moab is destroyed!' 21 "Judgment has come on the cities of the plateau: on Holon, Jahzah, Mephaath, 22 Dibon, Nebo, Beth Diblathaim, 23 Kiriathaim, Bethgamul, Bethmeon,

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
