Isaiah 15:9 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Dimon: this seems to be the same place with Dibon, mentioned Isaiah 15:2, here called Dimon for the great bloodshed in it, as it here follows; such changes of a letter being not unusual in proper names, as in Merodach for Berodach, Isaiah 39:1. More; either,

1. More than upon other parts of the country, that being one of their high places, Isaiah 15:2; or rather,

2. More than hath been already mentioned. Lions upon him that escapeth of Moab; God shall send lions to find out those that escape the fury of men.

Isaiah 15:9

9 For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will bring mored upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.
