Joshua 12:5 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 12:5

And reigned in Mount Hermon
That is, over all the people that inhabited that mount or dwelt under it, ( Joshua 11:17 ) , and adjacent to it, of which mountain, (See Gill on Deuteronomy 3:8) and (See Gill on Deuteronomy 3:9);

and in Salcah:
which was a city belonging to the kingdom of Og, ( Deuteronomy 3:10 ) ;

and in all Bashan;
or Batanea, a country famous for pasturage, ( Micah 7:14 ) ( Jeremiah 50:19 ) , and for fat cattle, ( Ezekiel 39:18 ) , and for oaks, ( Isaiah 2:13 ) ( Ezekiel 27:6 ) ( Zechariah 11:2 ) , frequently mentioned in Scripture:

unto the border of the Geshurites, and the Maachathites;
which were two nations the Israelites never expelled, ( Joshua 13:13 ) ; of which see ( Deuteronomy 3:14 ) ;

and half Gilead;
which belonged to Og, as the other half did to Sihon, before observed, which was as follows:

the border of Sihon king of Heshbon;
here the two kingdoms joined, even in the midst of Gilead, which was divided between them, but now wholly fell into the hands of Israel.
