“Then Sihon came out against us, etc.] Perceiving they were upon their march towards his land or into it, he gathered all his people and went out of Heshbon their capital city, where he resided: he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz; a city which he had taken from the king of Moab, and which in later times, after the captivity of the ten tribes, came into their hands again, (<231504>Isaiah 15:4 <244821>Jeremiah 48:21), (See Gill on “<042121>Numbers 21:21”).”
