Commentary

Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not,.... Which was then in their possession; otherwise what Sihon had took away from them, that the children of Israel came in to and enjoyed, as before observed, Deu 2:19 . nor unto any place of the river Jabbok; any town or city situated on this river, which was the border of the children of Ammon, Deu 3:16 ; see Gill on Gen 32:22 , nor unto the cities in the mountains; much less did they penetrate into the innermost parts of their country, the mountainous part thereof, and the cities there: nor unto whatsoever the Lord our God forbad us: whether in Edom, Moab, or Ammon, particularly the latter, of which he is more especially and peculiarly speaking.
