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, the king of Heshbon, refused to let us walk through. The LORD your God had made his heart and spirit stubborn. The LORD wanted to hand him over to you. And that's exactly what he has done.

31 The LORD said to me, "I have begun to hand Sihon and his country over to you. So begin the battle to take his land as your own."

32 Sihon and his whole army came out to fight against us at Jahaz.

33 But the LORD our God handed him over to us. We struck him down together with his sons and his whole army.

34 At that time we took all of his towns. We completely destroyed them. We killed all of the men, women and children. We didn't leave any of them alive.
