Misgab:

height, a town of Moab, or simply, the height=the citadel, some fortress so called; or perhaps a general name for the highlands of Moab, as some think (Jer 48:1). In Isa 25:12, the word is rendered "high fort."

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Misgab:

mis'-gab (ha-misgabh; Codex Vaticanus Amath; Codex Alexandrinus to krataioma): Named with Nebo and Kiriathaim in the denunciation of doom against Moab (Jer 48:1). No trace of any name resembling this has been found. Possibly we should take it, not as a place-name, but as an appellation of some strong fortress, perhaps of Kir-moab itself. The term is elsewhere translated "high fortress" (Isa 25:12, etc.).

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Misgab:

(height) a place in Moab (Jeremiah 48:1). It appears to be mentioned also in Isaiah 25:12, though there rendered in the Authorized Version "high fort."
