Contextual Overview
1 These are the kings of the land whom the sons of Israel won the war against east of the Jordan. They took their land from the Arnon valley to Mount Hermon, and all the Arabah to the east. 2 There was Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon. He ruled from Aroer on the side of the Arnon valley, and from the center of the valley and half of Gilead as far as the river Jabbok, beside the Ammonites. 3 And he ruled the Arabah as far as the Sea of Chinneroth in the east, and as far as the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, east toward Beth-jeshimoth and south to the bottom of the hills of Pisgah. 4 And they took the land of Og, king of Bashan, one of the Rephaim who were still living. Og lived at Ashtaroth and Edrei. 5 He ruled over Mount Hermon and Salecah and all Bashan. He ruled as far as the land of the Geshurites, the Maacathites, and half of Gilead, as far as the land of Sihon, king of Heshbon. 6 The Lord's servant Moses and the people of Israel won the war against them. Moses the Lord's servant gave their land to the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-family group of Manasseh.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
sea of Chinneroth: This inland sea, or rather lake, which drives its several names, the Lake of Tiberias, Sea of Galilee, Lake of Gennesareth, from the territory which forms its western and south-western border, is computed to be between seventeen and eighteen miles in length, and from five to six in breadth. The waters of this lake, which are sweet and agreeable, lie in a deep basin, surrounded with lofty hills, except at the north and south, where it is a plain country or level. There is a current through the whole lake even to the shore; and the Jordan through it is discernible by the smoothness of the surface in that part. Its appearance from the north- western extremity is said by Mr. Buckingham to be exceedingly grand; but the barren aspect of the mountains on each side, and the total absence of wood, give a cast of dullness to the picture.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And from the plain,.... Or rather, "and the plain", the plains of Moab, which, before possessed by the Israelites, belonged to the kingdom of Sihon; and the plains of Jordan, which reached
to the sea of Cinneroth on the east; the same with the lake of Gennesaret, and sea of Tiberias, mentioned in the New Testament,
Matthew 14:34:
and unto the sea of the plain; where stood the cities of the plain, Sodom, Gomorrah, c.
[even] the salt sea on the east the same with the dead sea, into which the plain the above cities stood on was converted:
the way to Bethjeshimoth; which was a place in the plains of Moab,
Numbers 33:49;
and from the south under Ashdothpisgah; or the springs of Pisgah, which flowed from the mount of that name, Deuteronomy 3:17.
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.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 12:3. The sea of Chinneroth — Or Gennesareth, the same as the lake or sea of Tiberias.
The Salt Sea on the east — ×× ×××× yam hammelach, which is here translated the Salt Sea, is understood by others to mean the sea of the city Melach. Where can we find any thing that can be called a salt sea on the east of the lake of Gennesareth? Some think that the lake Asphaltites, called also the Dead Sea, Sea of the Desert, Sea of Sodom, and Salt Sea, is here intended.
Beth-jeshimoth — A city near the Dead Sea in the plains of Moab.
Ashdoth-pisgah — Supposed to be a city at the foot of Mount Pisgah.
