Bible Comments

Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,

Moab is confounded - answer of the flying Moabites to the Ammonite inquirers (Jeremiah 48:19; Isaiah 16:2). He enumerates the Moabite cities at length, as it seemed so incredible that all should be so utterly ruined. Many of them were assigned to the Levites, while Israel stood.

Tell ye it in Arnon - the northern boundary between Moab and Ammon (Jeremiah 48:19; Numbers 21:13).
