Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Lam 1:10

“Jod. The enemy hath put out his hand to all her desirable things: for she hath seen the Gentiles enter into her sanctuary, of whom thou gavest commandment that they should not enter into thy church.”

“for--surely she hath seen, &c. heathen . . . command . . . not enter . . . congregation--for instance, the Ammonites and Moabites (Deu 23:3; Neh 13:1-2). If the heathen, as such, were not allowed to enter the sanctuary for worship, much less were they allowed to enter in order to rob and destroy.”
