Josué 12:2

Listen to Josué 12:2
2 Uno de ellos era Sij贸n, rey de los amorreos, cuyo trono estaba en Hesb贸n.

El territorio de Sij贸n inclu铆a la cuenca del valle y la mitad de Galaad.

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 Los israelitas derrotaron a dos reyes cuyos territorios se extend铆an al este del r铆o Jord谩n, desde el arroyo Arn贸n hasta el monte Herm贸n, y abarcaban el Arab谩 al oriente.
2 Uno de ellos era Sij贸n, rey de los amorreos, cuyo trono estaba en Hesb贸n. Este rey gobernaba desde Aroer, ciudad asentada a orillas del arroyo Arn贸n, hasta el arroyo Jaboc, que era la frontera del territorio de los amonitas. El territorio de Sij贸n inclu铆a la cuenca del valle y la mitad de Galaad.
3 Abarcaba tambi茅n la parte oriental del Arab谩 hasta el lago Quin茅ret, y de all铆 al mar del sur, que es el Mar Muerto, por la v铆a de Bet Yesimot y, m谩s al sur, hasta las laderas del monte Pisg谩.
4 El otro rey era Og, rey de Bas谩n, uno de los 煤ltimos refa铆tas, que resid铆a en Astarot y Edrey.
5 Este rey gobernaba desde el monte Herm贸n, en Salc谩, y en toda la regi贸n de Bas谩n, hasta la frontera de Guesur y de Mac谩, y en la mitad de Galaad, hasta la frontera del territorio de Sij贸n, rey de Hesb贸n.
