Contextual Overview

14 How do you say, We are mighty and strong men for war? 15 Moab is ravaged, and her cities have come up. And his chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter, says the King whose name is Jehovah of Hosts. 16 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his evil hurries fast. 17 All who are around him mourn for him. And all who know his name, say, How the strong staff is broken, the beautiful rod! 18 O dweller, daughter of Dibon, come down from glory and sit in thirst. For a ravager of Moab shall come on you; he has ruined your strongholds. 19 O dweller of Aroer, stand by the way and watch. Ask him who flees and her who escapes; say, What has happened? 20 Moab is put to shame, for it is torn down. Wail and cry! Tell it in Arnon that Moab is ravaged. 21 And judgment has come to the plain country, on Holon, and on Jahazah, and on Mephaath, 22 and on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth-diblathaim, 23 and on Kiriathaim, and on Beth-gamul, and on Beth-meon,

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Kerioth: Jeremiah 48:41, Amos 2:2

Bozrah: Deuteronomy 4:43, Bezer, Joshua 21:36, Bezor, Zephaniah 2:8-10

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And upon Kerioth,.... Which once belonged to the tribe of Judah, Joshua 15:25; from this place Judas Iscariot is by some thought to have his name; as if it was "Ish Kerioth", "a man of Kerioth". Grotius takes it to be the Goiratha of Ptolemy:

and upon Bozrah; not in Idumea, but in Moab; the same with Bezer,

Joshua 21:36;

and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, for and near; all the rest of the cities not named, whether nearer or farther off from Aroer.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Kerioth - A synonym of Ar, the old capital of Moab. It appears to have been a considerable place, and has been identified with El-Korriat, situated on the long ridge of Mount Attarus.

Bozrah - Probably the Bosora mentioned in 1 Macc. 5:26 in company with Bosor, i. e., Bezer. Since the word means sheepfolds, it was no doubt a common name for places in this upland region, fit only for pasturage.
