Numbers 21:26 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 21:26

24 Then ^aIsrael defeated him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the people of Ammon; for the border of the people of Ammon was fortified.

25 So Israel took all these cities, and Israel ^adwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon and in all its villages.

26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and had taken all his land from his hand as far as the Arnon.

27 Therefore those who speak in¹ proverbs say:
“Come to Heshbon, let it be built;
Let the city of Sihon be repaired.

28 “For ^afire went out from Heshbon,
A flame from the city of Sihon;
It consumed ^bAr of Moab,
The lords of the ^cheights of the Arnon.

29 Woe to you, ^aMoab!
You have perished, O people of ^bChemosh!
He has given his ^csons as fugitives,
And his ^ddaughters into captivity,
To Sihon king of the Amorites.

30 “But we have shot at them;
Heshbon has perished ^aas far as Dibon.
Then we laid waste as far as Nophah,
Which reaches to ^bMedeba.”

31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.

32 Then Moses sent to¹ spy out ^aJazer; and they took its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.
