Horonaim was a Moabite city south of the Arnon River, cited repeatedly in Isaiah's and Jeremiah's oracles of judgment against Moab as one of the towns that would fall and mourn in the coming disaster (Isaiah 15:5; Jeremiah 48:3, 5, 34). Its name, meaning "two caverns" or "two hollows," suggests it sat in a valley or ravine setting. Its precise location has not been identified with confidence.
