Now these [are] the kings of the land which the children of Israel smote, etc.] In the days of Moses, as Jarchi remarks, and as it clearly 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, (<042113>Numbers 21:13); and from hence to Hermon, a mountain adjoining to Lebanon, lay the country of the two kings of the Amorites after mentioned, (<050308>Deuteronomy 3:8,9); and the plain on the east were the plains of Moab, which lay to the east of Jordan.
