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."
