Gill's Notes on the Bible
But I will send a fire upon Moab,.... Either on the whole country, or on some particular city so called, as in all the other prophecies; and there was a city called Moab, now Areopolis,
:-; though it may be put for the whole country, into which an enemy should be sent to destroy it, even Nebuchadnezzar:
and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth; a principal city in the land of Moab; according to Kimchi, it was the royal city, and therefore mention is made of the palaces of it, here being the palace of the king and his princes; see Jeremiah 48:24; though the word may be rendered cities, as it is by the Septuagint and Arabic versions; and so the Targum,
"and shall consume the palaces of the fortified place;''
and so may signify all the cities of Moab, and their palaces: or however may be put for them:
and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, [and] with the sound of the trumpet: that is, the Moabites shall die, not in their beds, and in peace, but in war, amidst the howlings of the wounded, the shouts of soldiers, the clashing of arms, and the sound of trumpets,
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
It shall devour the palaces of Kerioth - Literally, âthe cities,â that is, a collection of cities. It may have received a plural form upon some enlargement, as Jerusalem received a dual form, as a double city. The name is, in different forms, very common . In the plain or high downs of Moab itself, there were both Kiriathaim, âdouble cityâ and Kerloth Jeremiah 48:23-24; in Naphthali, a Kiriathaim, (1 Chronicles 6:76, (1 Chronicles 6:61 in Hebrew)) or Kartan Joshua 21:32; in Judah, the Kerioth Joshua 15:25 from where the wretched Judas has his name Iscariot; in Zebulon, Kartah Joshua 21:34 also, which reappears as the Numidian Cirta. Moab had also a Kiriath-huzoth, âcity of streetsâ Numbers 22:39, within the Arnon . This alone was within the proper border of Moab, such as the Armorites had left it.
Kerioth and Kiriathaim were in the plain country which Israel had won from the Amorites, and its possession would imply an aggression of Moab. Jeroboam II had probably at this time brought Moab to a temporary submission (see the note at Amos 6:14); but Israel only required fealty and tribute of Moab; Moab appears even before the captivity of the 2 12 tribes, to have invaded the possessions of Israel. Kerioth was probably a new capital, beyond the Arnon, now adorned with âpalacesâ and enlarged, as âParis, Prague, Cracow , âLondon, are composed of different towns. In Jeromeâs time, it had probably ceased to be .
Shall die with tumult - Jeremiah, when prophesying the destruction of Moab, designates it by this same name âsons of tumult Jeremiah 48:45. A flame shall devour the corner of Moab and the crown of the sons of tumult.â And probably herein he explains the original prophecy of Balaam, âshall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of tumultâ Numbers 24:17. As they had done, so should it be done to them; tumults they caused, âin tumultâ they should perish.
After the subdual of Moab by Nebuchadnezzar, it disappears as a nation, unless indeed Daniel in his Prophecy, âEdom and Moab and the chief of the children of Ammon shall escape out of his handâ Amos 11:41 (Antiochus Epiphanes,) means the nations themselves, and not such as should be like them. Else the intermarriage with Moabite women Ezra 9:1 is mentioned only as that with women of other pagan nations which had ceased to be. The old name, Moabitis, is still mentioned; but the Arabs had possessed themselves of it, and bore the old name. Alexander Jannaeus âsubduedâ we are told, âof the Arabians, the Moabites and Gileadires,â and then, again, when in difficulty, made it over with its fortified places, to the king of the Arabians . Among the cities which Alexander took from the king of the Arabians , are cities throughout Moab, both in that part in which they had succeeded to Israel, and their proper territory south of the Arnon .
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Amos 2:2. The palaces of Kirioth — This was one of the principal cities of the Moabites.
Moab shall die with tumult — All these expressions seem to refer to this city's being taken by storm, which was followed by a total slaughter of its inhabitants.
