Isaiah 15:9

“For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood, &c.] Of the slain, as the Targum adds. This was a river in the land of Moab, as say Jarchi and Kimchi; it had its name from the blood of the slain, Some take it to be the name of a city, and the same with Dibon, (<231502>Isaiah 15:2) but, because of the abundance of blood shed in it, got this new name; and the Vulgate Latin version here calls it Dibon; and the Syriac version Ribon; and the Arabic version Remmon: for I will bring more upon Dimon; or “additions”f311, not merely add blood to the waters of the river, as Jarchi and Kimchi; but bring additional evils and plagues, as Aben Ezra. The Targum interprets it, “the congregation of an army;”…”

“Dimon--same as Dibon (Isa 15:2). Its waters are the Arnon. full of blood--The slain of Moab shall be so many. bring more--fresh calamities, namely, the "lions" afterwards mentioned (Kg2 17:25; Jer 5:6; Jer 15:3). VITRINGA understands Nebuchadnezzar as meant by "the lion"; but it is plural, "lions." The "more," or in Hebrew, "additions," he explains of the addition made to the waters of Dimon by the streams of blood of the slain. Next: Isaiah Chapter 16”

“For the waters of Dimon - Probably the same as “Dibon” Isaiah 15:2. Eusobius says it was a large town on the northern bank of the river Arnon. Jerome says that the letters “m and b” are often interchanged in oriental dialects (see the note at Isaiah 15:2). Shall be full of blood - That is, the number of the slain of Moab shall be so great, that the blood shall color the waters of the river - a very common occurrence in times of great slaughter. Perhaps by the “waters” of Dimon the prophet does not mean the river Arnon, but the small rivulets or streams that might flow into it near to the city of Dibon. Probably there were winter brooks there, which do not run at all seasons. The Chaldee…”

“More - More than hath been already mentioned. Lions - God shall send lions to find out those that escape the fury of men. Next: Isaiah Chapter 16”

“15:9 Dibon: The Masoretic Text reads Dimon, which is a play on the word translated blood (Hebrew dam). • blood: Apparently many people from Moab had already been killed, but their judgment had only begun.”

“Dimon: Some have Dibon; and Jerome says that the same town was called both Dibon and Dimon. more: Heb. additions, Lev 26:18, Lev 26:21, Lev 26:24, Lev 26:28; Jer 48:43-45 lions: Lev 26:22; Kg2 17:25; Jer 15:3; Amo 5:19 him: Bp. Lowth, upon the authority of the LXX, renders, "upon the escaped of Moab, and Ariel, and the remnant of Admah. Next: Isaiah Chapter 16”
