Gill's Notes on the Bible
Them did Moses the servant of the Lord, and the children of Israel, smite,.... That is, the inhabitants of those kingdoms they smote with the edge of the sword, and took possession of them, the history of which see in Numbers 21:1;
and Moses the servant of the Lord gave it; the whole dominion of the two kings before mentioned:
[for] a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh: of which grant, and the conditions of it, see
Numbers 32:1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
All the plain on the east - i. e. the Arabah or depressed tract along the east bank of Jordan, the modern El-Ghor (see Numbers 22:1).
Joshua 12:2
From the middle of the river - i. e. as appears from Joshua 13:9, Joshua 13:16, âfrom the city that is in the midst of the river;â namely,, Ar Moab (see Deuteronomy 2:36).
Joshua 12:3
From the plain - Render âover the plain;â for the words describe not one of the boundaries of Sihonâs kingdom, but part of the territory included in it, i. e. the eastern portion of the Ghor, between the Sea of Tiberias and the Dead Sea.
