EZEKIEL 25:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth–jeshimoth, Baal–meon, and Kiriathaim,”
Because of this, God will open the flank of Moab by destroying its frontier cities: Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim, the glory of the country. The specific targeting of frontier settlements suggests systematic destruction of territorial integrity, with the naming of cities lending historical concreteness to the prophecy. The phrase 'open the flank' evokes military vulnerability, showing how once-protected lands become exposed to invasion and devastation.
