From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Howl, O gate -That is, ye who throng the gate. The gates of a city were the chief places of concourse. Cry, O city -The prophet here fixes the attention upon some principal city of Philistia, and calls upon it to be alarmed in view of the judgments that were about to come upon the whole land. Art dissolved -The word ‘dissolved’ (מוגmûg) is applied to that which melts, or which wastes away gradually, and then to that which faints or disappears. It means here that the kingdom of Philistia would disappear, or be destroyed. It probably conveys the idea of its fainting, or becoming feeble from fear or apprehension.
