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 pass by him: for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as [appeareth] this day.

31 And the LORD said to me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.

32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.

33 And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.

34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones of every city, we left none to remain.
