Cross-References
The Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a companion for him who corresponds to him."
Gill's Notes on the Bible
That also was accounted a land of giants,.... Ammon was so reckoned as well as Moab, Deuteronomy 2:10
giants dwelt therein in old time; the Rephaim dwelt there, as they did also in Ashteroth Karnaim, Genesis 14:5
and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims; they are thought to be the same with the Zuzims in Genesis 14:5 who had their name, as Hillerus c thinks, from Mezuzah, a door post, from their tall stature, being as high as one; and for a like reason Saph the giant might have his name, 2 Samuel 21:18. The word Zamzummims, according to him d, signifies contrivers of evil and terrible things; they were inventors of wickedness, crafty and subtle in forming wicked and mischievous designs, which struck terror into people, and made them formidable to them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
These verses, like Deuteronomy 2:10-12, are in all likelihood an addition made by a later reviser.
Deuteronomy 2:20
Zamzummims - A giant race usually identified with the Zuzims of Genesis 14:5.
Deuteronomy 2:23
The Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah - Read (Gaza, of which Azzah is the Hebrew form. “Hazerim” is not strictly a proper name, but means “villages,” or “enclosures,” probably such as are still common in the East. The Avims are no doubt identical with the Avites of Joshua 13:3, and were doubtless a scattered remnant of a people conquered by the Caphtorim (Genesis 10:14 note) and living in their “enclosures” in the neighborhood of Gerar. The word, which means “ruins,” seems itself expressive of their fallen state.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Deuteronomy 2:20. That also was accounted a land of giants — That was accounted the land or territory of the Rephaim.
Zamzummims — Supposed to be the same as the Zuzim, Genesis 14:5. Of these ancient people we know very little; they were probably inconsiderable tribes or clans, "pursuing and pursued, each other's prey," till at length a stronger totally destroyed or subdued them, and their name became either extinct or absorbed in that of their conquerors. From the Deuteronomy 2:10-12; Deuteronomy 2:10-12Deuteronomy 2:10-12; Deuteronomy 2:10-12, and from the Deuteronomy 2:20-23; Deuteronomy 2:20-23Deuteronomy 2:20-23; Deuteronomy 2:20-23 verse inclusive, we have certain historical remarks introduced which do not seem to have been made by Moses, but rather by Joshua or Ezra. By the introduction of these verses the thread of the narrative suffers considerable interruption. Dr. Kennicott considers both these passages to be interpolations. That they could not have made a part of the speech of Moses originally, needs little proof.
