Gill's Notes on the Bible

Moab is destroyed,.... Either the whole nation in general; so the Targum,

"the kingdom of Moab is broken;''

and so Abarbinel; or a city so called, which some take to be the city Areopolis. Jerom g says, that Moab is a city of Arabia, now called Areopolis; and which also has the name of Rabbathmoab, or "grand Moab";

her little ones have caused a cry to be heard; seeing their parents killed, and they left desolate, and in the hands of the enemy; and not only so, but just going to be dashed in pieces by them. The Targum interprets it, her governors; and so Jarchi, who thinks they are so called, because they are lesser than kings. Kimchi and Ben Melech suggest, that these are called so by way of contempt. The word "tzeir" signifies both "little" and "great", as the learned Pocock h has abundantly proved.

g De locis Heb. fol. 87. H. & 93. B. h Not. Miscell. in Port. Mosis, p. 17, 18.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Moab - Probably the city elsewhere called Ar-Moab. See the Septuagint of this verse.
