F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:16-37

Conquering beyond Jordan Deuteronomy 2:16-37 In the earlier verses of this portion we catch a glimpse of the former history of Palestine, with the wars of conquest and changes of tenure that swept over it. The Almighty Governor of the world was, as the Apostle Paul said afterward, determining seasons and frontiers. Nations enervated by their sins are continually being judged by the Prince of the kings of the earth. See Leviticus 18:28 ; Acts 17:26-27 ; Revelation 1:5 ; Matthew 25:32 . A... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 2:1-37

Continuing his discourse, Moses reviewed the second movement from Kadesh-barnea to Heshbon. The notes which characterized the description of the first period are found also in this review of the second period. All that Moses told them they knew as to the actual facts of the long and tedious road they had traveled in the weary years which were now drawing to a close. The great burden of his message to them was emphasizing the fact of how even amidst such sorrowful and severe discipline they had... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:1-37

Turning Backward Deuteronomy 2:1-37 and Deuteronomy 3:1-29 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Last week we closed with God's refusal to permit the Children of Israel to go into the land of Canaan. They had come up to Kadesh-barnea; they had sent spies into the land, but they had rebelled against the Lord and had not believed Him. For this cause, and because of their murmurings, the Lord said, "Turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness." Last week we saw that God had told them of how they started... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 2:26-31

Yahweh’s Dealings With Sihon, King of the Amorites (Deuteronomy 2:26-31 ). There is no suggestion that Yahweh had given the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites to him. Sihon had rather taken it by force of arms from Moab and had no divine right to it, especially as he was an Amorite, and the Amorites were under sentence. It was Yahweh’s intention that Sihon and the Amorites should be destroyed and their land give to Israel as a possession. However, in spite of that, they were at first given... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 2:28

Or, with my foot-men, or with my company which 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 his land might have been more mischievous and dangerous; but they were generally on foot. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 2:29

Object. The king of Edom, i.e. of the children of Esau, did not grant them passage, Numbers 20:0. Answ. 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. read more
