And Jahazah,.... Called Jahaz, Num 21:23, where the battle was fought between Sihon and Israel: and Kedemoth; near to which was a wilderness, which took its name from it, from whence Moses sent messengers with words of peace to Sihon, Deu 2:26, and Mephaath; thought to be the Maipha of Ptolemy (f); here Jerom says (g), in his time was a garrison of Roman soldiers, because of the desert that was near.

- Joshua 21:37
Kedemoth, and Mephaath—four cities, together with their pasturelands.
Commentary on Joshua 21:372 voices
The Lord commanded - Observe: the maintenance of ministers is not an arbitrary thing, left purely to the good will of the people. No: as the God of Israel commanded, that the Levites should be provided for, so hath the Lord Jesus ordained, (and a perpetual ordinance it is) that they who preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

- Jeremiah 48:21
Judgment has come upon the high plain— upon Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath,
Commentary on Jeremiah 48:212 voices
And judgment is come upon the plain country,.... Of Moab, which was for the most part such, especially that which lay near Arnon; the judgment of God's vengeance, punishment for sin, by the hand of the Chaldeans. The Targum is, "they that execute vengeance are come:'' upon Holon; a city of Moab; of which see Jos 15:51; it had its name perhaps from the sandy ground on which it stood.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Note, When iniquity is universal we have reason to expect that calamity should be so too. The kingdom is deprived of its dignity and authority: The horn of Moab is cut off, the horn of its strength and power, both offensive and defensive; his arm is broken, that he can neither give a blow nor prevent a blow,
Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710Puritan
