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, because the Lord your God had made him stubborn. The Lord wanted you to defeat Sihon, and now this has happened.

31 The Lord said to me, "See, I have begun to give Sihon and his country to you. Begin taking the land as your own."

32 Then Sihon and all his army came out and fought us at Jahaz,

33 but the Lord our God gave Sihon to us. We defeated him, his sons, and all his army.

34 We captured all his cities at that time and completely destroyed them, as well as the men, women, and children. We left no one alive.
