Contextual Overview
1 This is what the Lord Almighty said about Moab: "Pity the people of Nebo— their town is destroyed! Kiriathaim is captured, its mighty fortress torn down, and its people put to shame; 2 the splendor of Moab is gone. The enemy have captured Heshbon and plot to destroy the nation of Moab. The town of Madmen will be silenced; armies will march against it. 3 The people of Horonaim cry out, ‘Violence! Destruction!' 4 "Moab has been destroyed; listen to the children crying. 5 Hear the sound of their sobs along the road up to Luhith, the cries of distress on the way down to Horonaim. 6 ‘Quick, run for your lives!' they say. ‘Run like a wild desert donkey!' 7 "Moab, you trusted in your strength and your wealth, but now even you will be conquered; your god Chemosh will go into exile, along with his princes and priests. 8 Not a town will escape the destruction; both valley and plain will be ruined. I, the Lord , have spoken. 9 Set up a tombstone for Moab; it will soon be destroyed. Its towns will be left in ruins, and no one will live there again." 10 (Curse those who do not do the Lord 's work with all their heart! Curse those who do not slash and kill!)

her: Esther 8:11, Psalms 137:9
Reciprocal: Exodus 10:7 - that Egypt Jeremiah 20:16 - let him Jeremiah 48:15 - gone

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Moab is destroyed,.... Either the whole nation in general; so the Targum,
"the kingdom of Moab is broken;''
and so Abarbinel; or a city so called, which some take to be the city Areopolis. Jerom g says, that Moab is a city of Arabia, now called Areopolis; and which also has the name of Rabbathmoab, or "grand Moab";
her little ones have caused a cry to be heard; seeing their parents killed, and they left desolate, and in the hands of the enemy; and not only so, but just going to be dashed in pieces by them. The Targum interprets it, her governors; and so Jarchi, who thinks they are so called, because they are lesser than kings. Kimchi and Ben Melech suggest, that these are called so by way of contempt. The word "tzeir" signifies both "little" and "great", as the learned Pocock h has abundantly proved.
g De locis Heb. fol. 87. H. & 93. B. h Not. Miscell. in Port. Mosis, p. 17, 18.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Moab - Probably the city elsewhere called Ar-Moab. See the Septuagint of this verse.
