Jeremiah48:45

45 They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon, because of the force : but * a fire shall come forth 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 .

Heshbon was a great City, and as it should seem, a place of some force, the War being in the Country, they made Heshbon the place of their Sanctuary.

But the Prophet applying to the Chaldeans what was said in Moses his time. Num. 21.28. prophesieth, That Heshbon also should be destroyed and the fire should devour the crown of the head, that is the glory of the brave revelling Gallants, called in the Heb. the children of Noise.

Marginal references: Heb. childr[illegible: 2 letters] of noise.
