Because he burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime To plaster the walls of his house with it, as the Chaldee paraphrase explains the text, which was most ungenerously and cruelly insulting over the dead.

I will send a fire upon Moab Moab was conquered by Nebuchadnezzar, Jeremiah 27:3; Jeremiah 27:6. It shall devour the palaces of Kirioth A principal city of this country. And Moab shall die with tumult The Moabites shall be destroyed in the tumult of war. And I will cut off the judge in the midst thereof Probably the chief magistrate or king is intended.
