Contextual Overview
1 Concerning Moab. This is what the LORD of armies, the God of Israel says: "Woe to Nebo, for it has been destroyed; Kiriathaim has been put to shame, it has been captured; The high stronghold has been put to shame and shattered. 2 "There is no longer praise for Moab; In Heshbon they have devised disaster against her: 'Come and let's cut her off from being a nation!' You too, Madmen, will be silenced; The sword will follow you. 3 "The sound of an outcry from Horonaim, 'Devastation and great destruction!'4 "Moab is broken, Her little ones have sounded out a cry of distress. 5 "For they will go up by the ascent of Luhith With continual weeping; For at the descent of Horonaim They have heard the anguished cry of destruction. 6 "Flee, save yourselves, So that you may be like a juniper in the wilderness. 7 "For because of your trust in your own achievements and treasures, You yourself will also be captured; And Chemosh will go off into exile Together with his priests and his leaders. 8 "A destroyer will come to every city, So that no city will escape; The valley also will be ruined And the plateau will be destroyed, As the LORD has said. 9 "Give wings to Moab, For she will flee away; And her cities will become a desolation, Without inhabitants in them. 10 "Cursed is the one who does the LORD'S work negligently, And cursed is the one who restrains 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.
