Horonaim

From: Concise Bible Dictionary: H By: George A. Morrish

Place in Moab, mentioned by the prophets, with Zoar and Luhith (Isa. 15:5⁵My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives shall flee unto Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of Luhith with weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction. (Isaiah 15:5); Jer. 48:3,5,34³A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction. (Jeremiah 48:3)
⁵For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction. (Jeremiah 48:5)
³⁴From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, and even unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, as an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate. (Jeremiah 48:34)). The name of Horonaim is found on the Moabite stone: it was taken by King Mesha.
