Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Luhith was situated upon an eminence, and Jeremiah describes one set of weeping fugitives as pressing close upon another.
In the going down of Horonaim ... - Rather, in the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distresses of the cry of breaking, i. e., the cry of distress occasioned by the ruin inflicted by the enemy. It was situated in a hollow, probably near the Dead Sea.
