Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 15:4

_ _ Heshbon — an Amorite city, twenty miles east of Jordan; taken by Moab after the carrying away of Israel (compare Jeremiah 48:1-47).

_ _ Elealeh — near Heshbon, in Reuben.

_ _ Jahaz — east of Jordan, in Reuben. Near it Moses defeated Sihon.

_ _ therefore — because of the sudden overthrow of their cities. Even the armed men, instead of fighting in defense of their land, shall join in the general cry.

_ _ life, etc. — rather, “his soul is grieved” (1 Samuel 1:8) [Maurer].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 15:1-5.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 15:4

Heshbon — Two other Moabitish cities. Jahaz — Another city in the utmost borders of Moab. Soldiers — Who use to be the most courageous.
