Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 48:1

1 Against Moab, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Wo unto Nebo , for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is confounded, and taken, Misgab is confounded and dismayed.

Moab was a large Countrey and had many Cities, we shall have diverse of them named in this Chapter, the first that we read of it in Holy Writ is, N[illegible: 1 letter]mb. 32.3, 38. Reuben built both that and Kiriathaim as may be read there, ver. 38, 39. it was also the name of a mountain Deut. 34.1. it should seem that in Ieremiahs time, the Moabites had got both the possession of Nebo, and Kiriathaim and Misgab of which we read no more in Scripture▪ it seems to be a City built upon some Hill or High place, the Prophet threatneth ruine to all these three Cities.

Marginal references: Isa. 15. and 16. ch 25.21. and 27.3 Ezek. 25.9. Amos 2.1.; Or, the high place.
