Isa 15:1 The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence;
burden
See Scofield Isaiah 13:1, note.
This "burden" had a precursive fulfilment in Sennacherib's invasion, B.C. 704, three years after the prediction (Isa 16:14), but the words have a breadth of meaning which includes also the final world-battle. (See Scofield Revelation 19:17, note) Isaiah 16:1-5, which is a continuation of this "burden," shows the "tabernacle of David" set up, the next event in order after the destruction of the Beast and his armies. Cf. the order in Isa 10:28-34; and Isa 11:1-10; also Act 15:14-17; Rev 19:17-21; and Rev 20:1-4.
Isa 15:2 He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off.
all their heads shall be baldness
See Lev 21:5; Isa 3:24; 22:12; Jer 47:5; 48:1, 37, 38; Eze 7:18.
Isa 15:3 In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly.
on the tops of their houses
Isa 15:5 My 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.
My heart shall cry out for Moab
Isa 15:6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.

Isa 15:7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.
