Joshua 13:10 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 13:10

And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which
reigned in Heshbon
A city he took from the Moabites, and made it his royal seat, ( Numbers 21:26 ) :

unto the border of the children of Ammon;
which was the river Jabbok, ( Deuteronomy 3:16 ) .

Joshua 13:10 In-Context

8 With it the Reubenites, and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them beyond the Jordan to the east, just as Moses Yahweh's servant gave to them:

9 from Aroer, which [is] on the edge of the wadi of Arnon, and the city which [is] in the middle of the wadi, and all the plateau [from] Medeba up to Dibon;

10 and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon up to the border of the {Ammonites};

11 and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurite and the Maacathites, all of {Mount Hermon}, and Bashan up to Salecah;

12 all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei--he was left over from the survivors of the Rephaim; these Moses had defeated and driven out.
