A prophecy against Moab:
Ar in Moab is ruined,
destroyed in a night!
Kir in Moab is ruined,
destroyed in a night! Isaiah 15:1
destroyed in a night!
Kir in Moab is ruined,
destroyed in a night! Isaiah 15:1
Today, Moab would
be found in southern Jordan, across the Dead Sea from Israel. Nebo is a mountain on the border of Jordan
and Israel. Medeba was a town (Numbers 21:30, Joshua 13:9) off the Jordan
river.
Heshbon, Elealeh,
and Jazer are mentioned to the north of Beth-jeshimoth; Madaba, Beth-gamul, and
Mephaath to the east of Baalmeon; and Dibon, Aroer, Bezer, Jahaz, and
Kirhareseth to the south of Kiriathaim. The principal rivers of Moab mentioned
in the Bible are the Arnon, the Dimon or Dibon, and the Nimrim.
