Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain,.... Which was by Medeba, and reached to Dibon:
Dibon, and Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon; Dibon was rebuilt by Gad, though it belonged to Reuben, and perhaps was inhabited by both, being on the borders of each; and Bamothbaal signifies the high places of Baal; see
Num 22:41
; perhaps this is the same with Bamoth in the valley,
Num 21:20
; and Bethbaalmeon is the same with Baalmeon in
Num 32:38
; where it is highly probable was a temple of Baal, since both "beth" signifies an house, and "meon" an habitation.
