Josué 12:2 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 12:2

Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon
Which he took from the Moabites, and made his capital city, ( Numbers 21:26 ) ;

[and] ruled from Aroer, which [is] upon the bank of the river of Arnon;
a city of Moab, which never fell into the hands of Sihon, and therefore he is said to rule from it but not over it:

and from the middle of the river;
that is, the river Arnon, which being the boundary of the Moabites and Amorites, the king of the Amorites might be said to rule from the middle of it:

and from half Gilead even unto the river Jabbok, [which is] the border
of the children of Ammon;
so it is said to be, ( Deuteronomy 3:16 ) ; it should be rendered, not "from half Gilead", but "and half Gilead", as it is in the Hebrew text, and so in the Targum; for half Gilead belonged to the kingdom of Sihon, as the other half did to the kingdom of Og, as in ( Joshua 12:5 ) ; and so Jarchi remarks.

Josué 12:2 In-Context

1 Estos, pues, son los reyes de la tierra a quienes los hijos de Israel derrotaron, y cuya tierra poseyeron al otro lado del Jord谩n, hacia el oriente, desde el valle del Arn贸n hasta el monte Herm贸n, y todo el Arab谩 hacia el oriente:
2 Seh贸n, rey de los amorreos, que habitaba en Hesb贸n y gobernaba desde Aroer, que est谩 al borde del valle del Arn贸n, el medio del valle y la mitad de Galaad, y hasta el arroyo de Jaboc, l铆mite de los hijos de Am贸n;
3 y el Arab谩 hasta el mar de Cineret hacia el oriente, y hasta el mar de Arab谩, el mar Salado, al oriente hacia Bet-jesimot, y al sur, al pie de las laderas del Pisga;
4 y el territorio de Og, rey de Bas谩n, uno de los que quedaba de los refa铆tas, que habitaba en Astarot y en Edrei,
5 y gobernaba en el monte Herm贸n, en Salca y en todo Bas谩n, hasta los l铆mites del gesureo y del maacateo, y la mitad de Galaad, hasta el l铆mite de Seh贸n, rey de Hesb贸n.
