Deuteronomy 2:32 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 2:32

Then Sihon came out against us
Perceiving they were upon their march towards his land or into it, he gathered all his people and went out of Heshbon their capital city, where he resided:

he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz;
a city which he had taken from the king of Moab, and which in later times, after the captivity of the ten tribes, came into their hands again, ( Isaiah 15:4 ) ( Jeremiah 48:21 ) , (See Gill on Numbers 21:21).

Deuteronomy 2:32 In-Context

30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us travel through his land, for the Lord your God made his spirit stubborn and his heart obstinate in order to hand him over to you, as has now taken place.

31 "Then the Lord said to me, 'See, I have begun to give Sihon and his land to you. Begin to take possession of it.'

32 So Sihon and his whole army came out against us for battle at Jahaz.

33 The Lord our God handed him over to us, and we defeated him, his sons, and his whole army.

34 At that time we captured all his cities and completely destroyed the people of every city, including the women and children. We left no survivors.
