Contextual Overview
1 Against Moab. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: "Woe to Nebo!For it is plundered,Kirjathaim is shamed and taken;The high stronghold [fn] is shamed and dismayed-- 2 No more praise of Moab.In Heshbon they have devised evil against her:'Come, and let us cut her off as a nation.'You also shall be cut down, O Madmen! [fn] The sword shall pursue you; 3 A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim: "Plundering and great destruction!' 4 "Moab is destroyed;Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard; [fn] 5 For in the Ascent of Luhith they ascend with continual weeping; For in the descent of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction. 6 "Flee, save your lives!And be like the juniper [fn] in the wilderness. 7 For because you have trusted in your works and your treasures, You also shall be taken. And Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, His priests and his princes together. 8 And the plunderer shall come against every city; No one shall escape. The valley also shall perish, And the plain shall be destroyed, As the LORD has spoken. 9 "Give wings to Moab, That she may flee and get away; For her cities shall be desolate, Without any to dwell in them. 10 Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD deceitfully, And cursed is he who keeps back 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. âSpoiling and great destruction,â literally breaking, is the cry heard from Horonaim Isaiah 15:5.
