“And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life shall be grievous unto him.”
And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh; their voice shall be heard even unto Jahaz; therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life shall be grievous unto him—the spread of lamentation through the cities of Moab, with the armed soldiers (those expected to be strong) overcome by grief. The reduction of warriors to weeping suggests the complete demoralization accompanying judgment. This verse shows even the strongest overcome by despair.
