Contextual Overview
1 This message is to the country of Moab. This is what the Lord All-Powerful, the God of Israel, says: "How terrible it will be for the city of Nebo, because it will be ruined. The town of Kiriathaim will be disgraced and captured; the strong city will be disgraced and shattered. 2 Moab will not be praised again. Men in the town of Heshbon plan Moab's defeat. They say, ‘Come, let us put an end to that nation!' Town of Madmen, you will also be silenced. The sword will chase you. 3 Listen to the cries from the town of Horonaim, cries of much confusion and destruction. 4 Moab will be broken up. Her little children will cry for help. 5 Moab's people go up the path to the town of Luhith, crying loudly as they go. On the road down to Horonaim, cries of pain and suffering can be heard. 6 Run! Run for your lives! Go like a bush being blown through the desert. 7 You trust in the things you do and in your wealth, so you also will be captured. The god Chemosh will go into captivity and his priests and officers with him. 8 The destroyer will come against every town; not one town will escape. The valley will be ruined, and the high plain will be destroyed, as the Lord has said. 9 Give wings to Moab, because she will surely leave her land. Moab's towns will become empty, with no one to live in them. 10 A curse will be on anyone who doesn't do what the Lord says, and a curse will be on anyone who holds back his sword from killing.

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.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 48:3. Horonaim — Another city of Moab, near to Luhith. At this latter place the hill country of Moab commenced. "It is a place," says Dahler, "situated upon a height between Areopolis and Zoar."
