Isaiah 15:8

“For the cry is gone found about the borders of Moab, &c.] 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, (<042113>Numbers 21:13,14) said so be the border of Moab: and the howling thereof unto Beerelim; the same with Beer, (<042116>Numbers 21:16) called Beerelim, or “the well…”

“Eglaim-- (Eze 47:10), En-eglaim. Not the Agalum of EUSEBIUS, eight miles from Areopolis towards the south; the context requires a town on the very borders of Moab or beyond them. Beer-elim--literally, "the well of the Princes"--(so Num 21:16-18). Beyond the east borders of Moab.”

“For the cry is gone round about ... - The cry of distress and calamity has encompassed the whole land of Moab. There is no part of the land which is not filled with lamentation and distress. The howling - The voice of wailing on account of the distress. Unto Eglaim - This was a city of Moab east of the Dead Sea, which, Eusebius says, was eight miles south of Ar, and hence, says Rosenmuller, it was not far from the south border of Moab. It is mentioned by Josephus (“Ant.” xiv. 1), as one of the twelve cities in that region which was overthrown by Alexander the Great. Unto Beer-elim - literally, “the well of the princes.” Perhaps the same as that mentioned in Numbers 21:14-18, as being in the…”

“The cry - Their cry fills all the parts of the country. Isaiah 15:9”

“the cry: Isa 15:2-5; Jer 48:20-24, Jer 48:31-34 Eglaim: Eze 47:10, En-eglaim, Eglaim is called Agallim by Eusebius, who places it eight miles south from Ar or Areopolis. Isaiah 15:9”
