Moab's "flank" suggests vulnerability, implying that God will reveal their weaknesses. Historically, Moab was often in conflict with Israel, and this judgment reflects divine retribution for their hostility. The exposure signifies a stripping away of protection, leaving Moab open to invasion and conquest.<p><b>beginning with its frontier cities</b><br>The mention of "frontier cities" highlights strategic locations that serve as the first line of defense. These cities were crucial for Moab's security and trade. The judgment starting here indicates a systematic dismantling of Moab's defenses, emphasizing the thoroughness of God's judgment.<p><b>Beth-jeshimoth</b><br>Beth-jeshimoth, meaning "house of desolation," was located near the Dead Sea. It served as a border town and was significant for trade routes. Its mention underscores the completeness of the coming desolation, as even the most fortified and economically vital areas would not be spared.<p><b>Baal-meon</b><br>Baal-meon, also known as Beth-baal-meon, was a city dedicated to the Canaanite god Baal. Its inclusion in the prophecy highlights the judgment against idolatry. The destruction of Baal-meon symbolizes the downfall of false worship and the assertion of God's sovereignty over pagan deities.<p><b>and Kiriathaim</b><br>Kiriathaim was another significant Moabite city. Its name means "double city," possibly indicating a large or fortified settlement. The mention of Kiriathaim reinforces the idea of comprehensive judgment, as even well-established cities would face ruin.<p><b>the glory of the land</b><br>This phrase refers to the pride and splendor of Moab, which was known for its fertile land and prosperity. The judgment against "the glory of the land" signifies the removal of Moab's pride and the humbling of a nation that trusted in its own strength and resources rather than acknowledging the sovereignty of God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moab.htm">Moab</a></b><br>A nation descended from Lot, located east of the Dead Sea.

The cities named were all on the north of the Arnon, and before the time of Moses had been wrested from the Moabites by the Amorites, from whom in turn they were taken by the Israelites, and long formed a part of their territory. In the decay of the power of Israel they were re-conquered by Moab, and are here spoken of, perhaps in view of their being rightfully a possession of Israel, as appropriately the point from which desolation should go out over the whole of Moab.<p><span class= "bld">The glory of the country</span>.--The territory designated by the mention of these three cities is still considered by the Arabs as the best part of the land, and is called <span class= "ital">Belka. </span>They have a proverb, "Thou canst find no land like Belka."

Baal-moon (<a href="/numbers/32-38.htm">Numbers 32:38</a>), more fully Beth-baal-meon (<a href="/joshua/13-17.htm">Joshua 13:17</a>), or Beth-moon (<a href="/jeremiah/48-23.htm">Jeremiah 48:23</a>).

The dual form of the name (equivalent to "Two cities") implies, perhaps, the union of an old and new town, or two towns on the opposite sides of a brook or wady.

The three cities all belonged to the region which Sihon and Og had conquered from the Moabites before Israel obtained possession of them, and they were afterwards claimed as belonging to the Israelites by right of conquest (<a href="/judges/11-23.htm">Judges 11:23</a>), and them may therefore be a touch of irony in Ezekiel's language describing them as Moabite cities. Collectively they were <span class="cmt_word">the glory of the country</span>, the region known as <span class="accented">the Belka</span>, in which they were situated, giving the best pasturage, then as now, in Southern Syria. Havernick quotes a Bedouin proverb, "There is no land like Belka" (see Tristram's 'Land of Moab,' pp. 275, 303-305, 350).
