申命记 2:26-29 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:24-37

God having tried the self-denial of his people in forbidding them to meddle with the Moabites and Ammonites, and they having quietly passed by those rich countries, and, though superior in number, not made any attack upon them, here he recompenses them for their obedience by giving them possession of the country of Sihon king of the Amorites. If we forbear what God forbids, we shall receive what he promises, and shall be no losers at last by our obedience, though it may seem for the present to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:26

And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth ,.... A city in the tribe of Reuben, and given by them to the Levites in later times, having been taken from the Amorites with others; near this lay a wilderness, which took its name from it, and seems to be the same with Jeshimon, Numbers 21:20 . Aben Ezra takes it to be the wilderness of Matthanah, which according to Jerom F7 De loc. Heb. fol. 93. C. was situated on Arnon, twelve miles to the east of Medeba; see Numbers 21:18... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:27

Let me pass through thy land ,.... See Gill on Numbers 21:22 , I will go along by the highway ; the king's highway, as in the place referred to, the public road: I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the left ; to go into his fields and vineyards, and gather the fruit, or tread down the corn and vines, or do any manner of mischief to them; see the above place. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:28

Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat ,.... If they thought fit to have provision of them, they desired no other but to pay for it: and give me water for money, that I may drink ; see Deuteronomy 2:6 , only I will pass through on my feet ; for they were all footmen, Numbers 11:21 , of the phrase; see Gill on Numbers 20:19 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:29

As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me ,.... Which respects, as Jarchi observes, not the affair of passing through their land requested, for neither of them granted that, but buying food and drink; for though the Edomites at first seem not to have granted that, yet afterwards they did. The mountain of Seir, and the city Ar, are put for the whole countries of Edom and Moab: until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the Lord our... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:24-37

CONQUEST OF THE KINGDOM OF SIHON . Sihon and his people were Amorites, who had settled on the east of the Jordan in Gilead. But though not included in the original promise to Abraham, God had assigned this territory to the Israelites; and, therefore, he commanded the people under Moses to cross the Amen, and take the first step towards possessing the Promised Land, by assailing Sihon, King of Heshbon, assuring them that from that day he would "put the dread and fear of them upon... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:24-37

Warrantable warfare. Sihon, King of Heshbon, opposed with physical force the fulfillment of Israel's destiny; and, having provoked war, provokes it to his own destruction. I. THE NECESSITY FOR WAR . The question whether war is ever just and legitimate must be answered in the affirmative. Still, this does not justify all war. The majority of wars are indefensible. War is a barbarous instrument, and, as intelligence advances, can be replaced by better methods of conquest. But it... read more

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
