The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:24-37

The destruction of Sihon, King of the Amorites. Moses here recalls the first stage in the conquest. By Divine direction, the pilgrims are to advance upon the land of the Amorites, and they are promised an important victory over them. And here we have to notice— I. THE REASONABLE PROPOSAL MADE TO SIHON THE KING . ( Deuteronomy 2:26-29 .) This was for permission to pass through his land to Canaan, undertaking to disturb nothing and to pay for all supplies. Nothing... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:26

The wilderness of Kedemoth (comp. Numbers 21:13 ); so named from the town of Kedemoth, an old Amorite town, on the right bank of the Upper Arnon; at a later period, a Levitical city in the tribe of Reuben ( Joshua 13:18 ; Joshua 21:37 ; 1 Chronicles 6:79 ). The name (from קֶדֶם , the east), signifying eastern parts, indicates that it was situated on the eastern boundary of the Amorite region, so that the desert named from it must have bordered on the great Arabian desert; it may... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:26-37

The conquest of Sihon. Sihon, though an Amorite, was not to be unconditionally destroyed. He had, like Pharaoh, an opportunity given him of averting ruin by acceding to a most courteous and reasonable request; but, like Pharaoh in this respect also, he hardened his heart, and took the course which made his destruction inevitable. We are led to consider— I. SIHON 'S OPPORTUNITY . ( Deuteronomy 2:26-30 .) It was not given him in the hope that he would avail himself of it; for it... read more

Along by the high way ; literally, by the way , by the way , i . e . always, continuously by the way, the public road, called in Numbers 20:17 and Numbers 21:22 , "the king's way," probably because made and kept up by the king. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:29

As the … did unto me . This refers expressly to the fact that the Edomites and Moabites did not hinder the Israelites from passing through their country, though they were far from friendly, and dealt in an unbrotherly way with them, for which the Moabites were afterwards placed under a ban ( Deuteronomy 23:3 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:30

Heshbon , the chief city of the Amorite king, Sihon. Some ruins on a hill east of the upper end of the Dead Sea, and bearing the name Chesban, mark the site of this once large and important city. Sihon rejected Moses' overtures of peace, because God had hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate ; literally, had sharpened his heart , had made his determination keen. It is not to be supposed that any influence was directly exerted on him, to make him obdurate and persistent in... read more

Kedemoth - literally, “Easternmost parts;” the name of a town afterward assigned to the Reubenites, and given out of that tribe to the Levites. Compare Joshua 13:18; 1 Chronicles 6:79. read more

Deuteronomy 2:26. I sent messengers unto Sihon To show the prince of the Amorites that we were not aggressors, and offered no violence, and that, if he refused to grant us a passage through his land, his destruction would be of himself. Kedemoth was a city of that tract which fell to the lot of the Reubenites. read more

Deuteronomy 2:28. On my feet Or, with my company who are on foot, which is added significantly, because, if their army had consisted as much of horsemen as many other armies did, their passage through this land might have been more mischievous and dangerous. read more

Deuteronomy 2:29-30. As the children of Esau did They did permit them to pass quietly by the borders, though not through the heart of their land, and in their passage the people sold them meat and drink, being, it seems, more kind to them than their king would have had them; and therefore they here ascribe this favour not to the king, though they are now treating with a king, but to the people, the children of Esau. Hardened his spirit That is, suffered it to be hardened. read more
