Horonaim
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Horonaim is a city mentioned in the Book of Jeremiah, in chapter 48:
Chapter 48, verse 3:
- Listen to the cries from Horonaim,
- cries of great havoc and destruction. (NIV)
48:5:
- They go up the way to Luhithm
- weeping bitterly as they go;
- on the road down to Horonaim
- anguished cries over the destruction
- are heard. (NIV)
- anguished cries over the destruction
48:34:
- The sound of their cry rises
- from Heshbon to Elealeh and Jahaz,
- from Zoar as far as Horonaim and Eglath
-
- Shelishiyah
- for even the waters of Nimrim are
- dried up. (NIV)
-
The account appears to refer to the wars of the Moabite king Mesha against the Israelites of the trans-Jordanian land of Gilead.[citation needed]
