"For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beerelim."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
For the cry is gone found about the borders of Moab,.... The cry of destruction and howling because of it; the places mentioned, as is observed by some, being upon
the borders of the land. Heshbon was on the north east, Elealeh on the north west, Jahaz on the south west, Horonaim further west, Zoar the utmost west, and the places following seem to be upon the borders likewise: the howling thereof unto Eglaim; which word signifies a border, and so the Arabic word Agalon; some take it to be the same with the brooks of Arnon, Num 21:13 said so be the border of Moab: and the howling thereof unto Beerelim; the same with Beer, Num 21:16 called Beerelim, or "the well of the mighty ones", being dug by the princes of Israel, Num 21:18 .
