SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:31
Así habitó Israel en la tierra del amorreo.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 31. Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites .] Not the land of the Moabites; and by those means before mentioned; by conquering Sihon their king, they came into the possession of it, and took up their dwelling in it; this was the beginning of the conquest of the Canaanites, and an earnest and pledge of inheriting their land promised unto them; the Israelites that dwelt here were the tribes of Reuben and Gad.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 21-35 - Sihon went with his forces against Israel, out of his own borders without provocation, and so ran upon his own ruin. The enemies of God' church often perish by the counsels they think most wisely taken. Og king of Bashan, instead of being warned by the fate of his neighbours to make peace with Israel, makes war with them, which proves in lik manner his destruction. Wicked men do their utmost to secure themselve and their possessions against the judgments of God; but all in vain when the day comes on which they must fall. God gave Israel success while Moses was with them, that he might see the beginning of the glorious work, though he must not live to see it finished. This was, i comparison, but as the day of small things, yet it was an earnest of great things. We must prepare for fresh conflicts and enemies. We mus make no peace or truce with the powers of darkness, nor even treat with them; nor should we expect any pause in our contest. But, trusting i God, and obeying his commands, we shall be more than conquerors ove every enemy __________________________________________________________________
