This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
gone up ... gone down - in antithesis.
out of her cities - Rather, “Moab ... and her cities are gone up,” namely, pass away in the ascending smoke of their conflagration (Jos 8:20, Jos 8:21; Jdg 20:40). When this took place, the young warriors would go down from the burning citadels only to meet their own slaughter [Grotius]. English Version is somewhat favored by the fact that “gone out” is singular, and “cities” plural. The antithesis favors Grotius.
