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 was not willing to let us cross through his [territory] because Yahweh your God hardened his spirit and {made him obstinate} {in order to give him} into your hand, {just as he has now done}.

31 Yahweh said to me, 'Look! I have begun to give {over to you} Sihon and his land; begin {to take possession of his land}.'

32 Then Sihon and all his people came out to meet us for battle at Jahaz.

33 And so Yahweh our God gave him over {to us}, and we struck him down, and his sons and all of his people.

34 So we captured all of his cities at that time, and we destroyed each town [of] males and the women and the children; we did not leave behind a survivor.
