Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 48:20

_ _ Answer of the fleeing Moabites to the Ammonite inquirers (Jeremiah 48:19; Isaiah 16:2). He enumerates the Moabite cities at length, as it seemed so incredible that all should be so utterly ruined. Many of them were assigned to the Levites, while Israel stood.

_ _ in Arnon — the north boundary between Moab and Ammon (Jeremiah 48:19; Numbers 21:13).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 48:14-47.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 48:20

Arnon — Arnon was the name of a river; it was the border of Moab: probably the adjacent country or city might take its name from the river.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 48:20

(m) Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: wail and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is laid waste,
