Gill's Notes on the Bible

And judgment is come upon the plain country,.... Of Moab, which was for the most part such, especially that which lay near Arnon; the judgment of God's vengeance, punishment for sin, by the hand of the Chaldeans. The Targum is,

"they that execute vengeance are come:''

upon Holon; a city of Moab; of which see Joshua 15:51; it had its name perhaps from the sandy ground on which it stood. Grotius takes it to be the Alabana of Ptolemy:

and upon Jahazah: the same with Jahaz, Joshua 15:51- :; reckoned by Grotius to be the Jadu of Ptolemy; see Joshua 13:18;

and upon Mephaath; of which see Joshua 13:18; said by Grotius to be the Maipha of Ptolemy.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Holon - This place apparently took its name from caverns in its neighborhood.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 48:21. Upon Holon, &c. — All these were cities of the Moabites, but several of them are mentioned in no other place.
