Commentary

Now these are the kings of the land which the children of Israel smote,.... In the days of Moses, as Jarchi remarks, and as it c learly appears from what follows: and possessed, their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the sun; on the east of the land of Canaan: from the river Arnon unto the mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east; Arnon was the border of Moab between them and the Amorites, Num 21:13 ; and from hence to Hermon, a mountain adjoining to Lebanon, lay the country of the two kings of the Amorites after mentioned, Deu 3:8 ; and the plain on the east were the plains of Moab, which lay to the east of Jordan.
