Jueces 11:19 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 11:19

And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites,
the king of Heshbon
Which was his royal city, where he had his palace, and kept his court, and is therefore particularly mentioned; and the rather, because he had taken it from the Moabites, and was part of that land now in dispute; and this Sihon was not only in possession of, when Israel sent messengers to him, but it was his royal seat, the metropolis of his kingdom, and he was called king of it:

and Israel said unto him, let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land
unto my place;
the land of Canaan, prepared and reserved for them when the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, promised by the Lord to their ancestors and to them, and given unto them, who is sovereign Lord of all; and all that Israel desired of Sihon was only a passage through his land to that, promising the same as to the king of Edom; see the history of it in ( Numbers 21:21-35 ) .

Jueces 11:19 In-Context

17 Israel envi贸 mensajeros al rey de Edom, diciendo: "Perm铆tenos, te rogamos, pasar por tu tierra', pero el rey de Edom no les escuch贸. Tambi茅n enviaron mensajeros al rey de Moab pero 茅l no consinti贸, as铆 que Israel permaneci贸 en Cades.
18 'Luego atravesaron el desierto y rodearon la tierra de Edom y de Moab, llegaron al lado oriental de la tierra de Moab y acamparon al otro lado del Arn贸n; pero no entraron en el territorio de Moab, porque el Arn贸n era la frontera de Moab.
19 'Y envi贸 Israel mensajeros a Seh贸n, rey de los amorreos, rey de Hesb贸n, y le dijo Israel: 'Perm铆tenos, te rogamos, pasar por tu tierra a nuestro lugar.'
20 "Pero Seh贸n no confi贸 en Israel para darle paso por su territorio; reuni贸, pues, Seh贸n a todo su pueblo y acamp贸 en Jahaza, y pele贸 contra Israel.
21 "Y el SE脩OR, Dios de Israel, entreg贸 a Seh贸n y a todo su pueblo en manos de Israel, y los derrotaron, e Israel tom贸 posesi贸n de toda la tierra de los amorreos, los habitantes de esa regi贸n.
