Contextual Overview

²⁴ "Get up, make your way across Wadi Arnon. Look! I have already delivered over to you Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Go ahead! Take it! Engage him in war! ²⁵ This very day I will begin to fill all the people of the earth with dread and to terrify them when they hear about you. They will shiver and shake in anticipation of your approach." ²⁶ Then I sent messengers from the Kedemoth Desert to King Sihon of Heshbon with an offer of peace: ²⁷ "Let me pass through your land; I will keep strictly to the roadway. I will not turn aside to the right or the left. ²⁸ Sell me food for cash so that I can eat and sell me water to drink. Just allow me to go through on foot, ²⁹ just as the descendants of Esau who live at Seir and the Moabites who live in Ar did for me, until I cross the Jordan to the land the Lord our God is giving us." ³⁰ But King Sihon of Heshbon was unwilling to allow us to pass near him because the Lord our God had made him obstinate and stubborn so that he might deliver him over to you this very day. ³¹ The Lord said to me, "Look! I have already begun to give over Sihon and his land to you. Start right now to take his land as your possession." ³² When Sihon and all his troops emerged to encounter us in battle at Jahaz, ³³ the Lord our God delivered him over to us and we struck him down, along with his sons and everyone else.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth,.... A city in the tribe of Reuben, and given by them to the Levites in later times, having been taken from the Amorites with others; near this lay a wilderness, which took its name from it, and seems to be the same with Jeshimon, Numbers 21:20. Aben Ezra takes it to be the wilderness of Matthanah, which according to Jerom g was situated on Arnon, twelve miles to the east of Medeba; see

Numbers 21:18 from hence messengers were sent by Moses,

unto Sihon king of Heshbon, with words of peace; in a peaceable and respectful manner, desiring to be at peace and in friendship with him, and a continuance of it, which was done to leave him inexcusable; as afterwards a like method was ordered to be taken, when they came to any city, to proclaim peace, and if an answer of peace was given, no hostilities were to be committed, Deuteronomy 20:10,

saying; as follows.

g De loc. Heb. fol. 93. C.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Kedemoth - literally, “Easternmost parts;” the name of a town afterward assigned to the Reubenites, and given out of that tribe to the Levites. Compare Joshua 13:18; 1 Chronicles 6:79.
