Isaiah 15:4

(Cf. Jeremiah 48:34.) Heshbonand Elealeh(often mentioned together) are respectively about 4 and 6 miles N.E. of Nebo. Heshbon, once the capital of the Amorites (Numbers 21:26) and afterwards an Israelitish city (Numbers 32:37; Joshua 13:17; Joshua 21:39), is at the time of the prophecy in the possession of Moab. The site of Jahaz, where Sihon gave battle to the Israelites (Numbers 21:23), has not been discovered; probably it was some distance south from Heshbon.

the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out omit "shall" with R.V. Cf. ch. Isaiah 33:7. The "heroes of Moab" are mentioned in a similar plight in Jeremiah 48:41.

his life shall be grievous unto him Rather, as in R.V., his soul trembleth within him (ethical dative).
