Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]
MISGAB. Mentioned along with Nebo and Kiriathaim in the oracle against Moab ( Jeremiah 48:1 ). Perhaps it is not intended as a proper name. The same Heb. term occurs in Isaiah 25:12 , where both AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RV [Note: Revised Version.] tr. [Note: translate or translation.] ‘high fort’ (cf. 2 Samuel 22:3 , Psalms 9:9 bis Psalms 18:2; Psalms 46:7; Psalms 46:11; Psalms 48:3; Psalms 59:9; Psalms 59:16-17; Psalms 62:2; Psalms 62:6; Psalms 94:22; Psalms 144:2 , Isaiah 33:16 .
Smith's Bible Dictionary [2]
Mis'gab. (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".
Morrish Bible Dictionary [3]
Place in Moab denounced by the prophet. Jeremiah 48:1 . It reads 'high place' in the margin. Without the article the word is translated 'defence,' 'high fort,' 'refuge,' etc.
Fausset's Bible Dictionary [4]
("the elevated spot".) In Moab Jeremiah 48:1), "the high land of Moab." (Furst.)
Easton's Bible Dictionary [5]
Jeremiah 48:1 Isaiah 25:12
Holman Bible Dictionary [6]
Jeremiah 48:1
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [7]
(Heb. Misgab', מַשְׂגָּב, Height, as often; Sept. Ἀμάθ τὸ κραταίωμα v.r. Μασιγάθ, and τὸ ὀχύρωμα Μωάβ,Vulg. fortis), a town in Moab, situated on the desolating track of the invading Babylonians ( Jeremiah 48:1), probably so called from being located on an eminence. De Saulcy (Narrative, 1:391) suggests a connection with the present Wady el-Mujeb, the ancient Arnon; but this is merely fanciful. The place is doubtless to be sought near the associated localities of Kiriathaim and Heshbon; perhaps it is only an appellative (as it usually has the article) for the older locality BAMOTH (See Bamoth) (q.v.). Others think it may be the Mizpeh of Moab ( 1 Samuel 23:3), or a general name for the highlands of Moab, as in Isaiah 25:12 (without the art. A.V. "high fort"). (See Moab).
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [8]
mis´gab ( המּשׂגּב , ha - misgābh ; Codex Vaticanus Ἀμάθ , Amáth ; Codex Alexandrinus τὸ κραταίωμα , tó krataı́ōma ): Named with Nebo and Kiriathaim in the denunciation of doom against Moab ( Jeremiah 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" ( Isaiah 25:12 , etc.).
