A Cry Throughout the Land
Commentators agree that the cry of distress is not localized but has spread to every corner of Moab. The prophecy mentions specific border towns, Eglaim and Beer-elim, to emphasize that the entire nation, from one extremity to the other, is filled with wailing and despair. This illustrates the comprehensive nature of God's judgment.
