The judgment of Moab (7) Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab.--Either the whole nation wailing for its downfall, or the survivors wailing for the fallen. The foundations of Kir-hareseth.--The name has been commonly explained as the "brick fortress," (city of pottery). Others, with a different derivation, make it "city of the sun." Others, again (E. H. Palmer, in the Athenaeum of August 19, 1871), connect it with hareith, the modern Moabite name for the hillocks on which the rock fortresses were built. The word for foundations occurs in Hosea 3:1, for raisin-cakes ("flagons of wine" in the Authorised version (comp. 2Samuel 6:19, Song Song of Solomon 2:5), and has been supposed to refer to this as the main product of Kir-hareseth, the traffic in which she lost through the destruction of the vineyards, mentioned in the next verse. Ruins would, in any case, be better than "foundations." Verse 7. - Every one shall howl; rather, the whole of it shall howl; i.e. the entire nation collectively (comp. Herod., 8:99; 9:24). For the foundations of Kir-Hareseth shall ye mourn. The word here translated "foundations" is elsewhere always rendered "flagons" or "flagons of wine" (2 Samuel 6:19; Song of Solomon 2:5; Hosea 3:1). And this rendering is more agreeable to the context than "foundations," since it is the loss of the products of the soil which is threatened in the next three verses. "Kir-Hareseth" is probably the same place as the "Kir-Moab" of Isaiah 15:1. It was one of the principal cities of Moab (see 2 Kings 2:25).Parallel Commentaries ...
