Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 48:45

_ _ under ... shadow of Heshbon — They thought that they would be safe in Heshbon.

_ _ because of the force — that is, “they that fled because of the force” of the enemy: they that fled from it. Glassius translates, “through want of strength.” So the Hebrew particle is translated (Psalms 109:24), “faileth of fatness,” that is, “faileth through want of fatness”; also Lamentations 4:9.

_ _ but a fire, etc. — copied in part from Sihon’s hymn of victory (Numbers 21:27, Numbers 21:28). The old “proverb” shall hold good again. As in ancient times Sihon, king of the Amorites, issued forth from his city, Heshbon, as a devouring “flame” and consumed Moab, so now the Chaldeans, making Heshbon their starting-point, shall advance to the destruction of Moab.

_ _ midst of Sihon — that is, the city of Sihon.

_ _ corner of Moab — that is, Moab from one corner to the other.

_ _ crown of ... head — the most elevated points of Moab. Making some alterations, he here copies Balaam’s prophecy (Numbers 24:17). Margin there translates “princes” for corners; if so, “crown of ... head” here refers to the nobles.

_ _ tumultuous onessons of tumult; those who have tumultuously revolted from Babylon. Heshbon passed from the Amorite to the Israelite sway. Moab had wrested it from Israel and helped the Chaldeans against the Jews; but revolting from Babylon, they brought ruin on themselves in turn.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 48:14-47.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 48:45

Heshbon — Heshbon was it seems a place of force. The crown — That is, the glory.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 48:45

They that fled stood under the shadow (z) of Heshbon because of the force: but (a) a fire shall come out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.

(z) They fled there thinking to have comfort from the Amorites.

(a) The Amorites had destroyed the Moabites in times past, and now because of their power the Moabites will seek them for help.
