This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_49:3 Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, [and] his priests and his princes together.
Ver. 3. Howl, O Heshbon.] A city of the Gadites, but seized upon, it seemeth, first by the Ammonites, and then by the Moabites. {Jer_48:2; Jer_48:24-25}
For Ai is spoiled.] Not that Ai, Jos_7:1, but another of that name beyond Jordan - Gaja, Ptolemy calleth it.
And run to and fro by the hedges.] Hide you behind the hedges.
For their king.] Or, Malcham their idol - as Chemosh. {Jer_48:7}
