The destruction of Moab.
The burden of Moab; a prophecy of the destruction of the Moabites, the inveterate and implacable enemies of the Jews, begun by the Assyrian, and finished by the Babylonian emperors.
In the night; or, in a night; suddenly and unexpectedly; for men sleep securely in the night, and therefore the evils which then overtake them are most terrible to them.
Ar; the chief city of Moab, Num_21:28 Deu_2:9.
Brought to silence; or rather, is cut off, as the word oft signifies, as Jer_47:5 Hos_10:7,15, and elsewhere. Kir; another eminent city of Moab, called more largely and fully Kir-heres, and Kir-hareseth, Isa_16:7,11 Jer 48:31,36.
