Contextual Overview

21 (RY: iv, LY: vii) Isra'el sent messengers to Sichon, king of the Emori, with this message: 22 "Let me pass through your land. We won't turn aside into fields or vineyards, and we won't drink any water from the wells. We will go along the King's Highway until we have left your territory." 23 But Sichon would not allow Isra'el to pass through his territory. Instead, Sichon mustered all his people and went out into the desert to fight Isra'el. On reaching Yachatz, he fought Isra'el. 24 Isra'el defeated him by force of arms and took control of his land from the Arnon to the Yabok River, but only as far as the people of ‘Amon, because the territory of the people of ‘Amon was well defended. 25 Isra'el took all these cities — Isra'el lived in all the cities of the Emori, in Heshbon and all its surrounding towns. 26 Heshbon was the city of Sichon, the king of the Emori, who had fought against the former king of Mo'av and conquered all his land up to the Arnon. 27 This is why the storytellers say, "Come to Heshbon! Let it be rebuilt! Let Sichon's city be restored! 28 "For fire burst out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sichon. It consumed ‘Ar of Mo'av, the lords of Arnon's high places. 29 "Woe to you, Mo'av! You are destroyed, people of K'mosh! He let his sons be fugitives and his daughters captives of Sichon, king of the Emori. 30 "We shot them down; Heshbon is destroyed, all the way to Divon. We even laid waste to Nofach, which extends as far as Meidva."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Israel took all these cities,.... Which lay between the rivers Arnon and Jabbok; their particular names may be seen in

Numbers 32:3,

and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites; being given to the Reubenites and Gadites, who inhabited them, as their possession and inheritance, Numbers 32:2:

in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof; or "daughters thereof" q. Heshbon was the metropolis or mother city, and all the towns and villages adjacent were as daughters to it; of which city more is said in the following verses, Numbers 32:2- :.

q בנתיה "filiabus ejus", Montanus, Munster, Fagius, Grotius.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Heshbon - Now Heshban, a ruined city, due east of the point where the Jordan enters the Dead Sea; conspicuous from all parts of the high plateau on which it stands, but concealed, like the rest of the plateau, from the valley beneath.
