"Morasthite”: was located southwest of Jerusalem, near the Philistine city of Gath.

“Lachish … sin to the daughter of Zion”: Lachish was a key military fortress whose “sin” was dependence on military might.
“Adullam the Glory of Israel”: The people of Israel were to flee to the caves as David did to the cave at Adullam (2 Sam. 23:13).
