Kemudian mereka berjalan melalui padang gurun, menempuh jalan keliling tanah Edom dan tanah Moab, lalu sampai ke sebelah timur tanah Moab, maka berkemahlah mereka di seberang sungai Arnon, dengan tidak masuk daerah Moab, sebab sungai Arnon itulah batas daerah Moab.
Kemudian berjalanlah mereka itu dalam padang Tiah keliling tanah orang Edom dan tanah orang Moab, lalu dari sebelah matahari terbit datanglah mereka itu ke tepi tanah orang Moab, didirikannyalah kemah-kemahnya di seberang Arnon, tetapi tiada mereka itu masuk perhinggaan tanah orang Moab, karena sungai Arnon itulah perhinggaan tanah orang Moab.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then they went along the wilderness,.... The wilderness of Paran, which lay along the borders of Edom; they went, according to Jarchi, from the west to the east on the south border of Edom and Moab:
and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab; all the south of the land of Edom, and all the south of the land of Moab; towards the sunrising, as in Numbers 21:11
and pitched on the other side of Arnon; the river Arnon, which, according to Jarchi, was at the east end of the land of Moab, where began the country of Sihon and Og:
but came not within the border of Moab; so far were they from attempting to take away any part of that land from the king of it, though ill treated by him:
for Arnon was the border of Moab; which divided between Moab and the Amorites, Numbers 21:13.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Consult the marginal references. If the ark with the copy of the Law Deuteronomy 31:26 was at Mizpeh, it would account for Jephthah’s accurate knowledge of it; and this exact agreement of his message with Numbers and Deuteronomy would give additional force to the expression, “he uttered all his words before the Lord” Judges 11:11.
Judges 11:17
No mention is made of this embassy to Moab in the Pentateuch.
Judges 11:19
Into my place - This expression implies that the trans-Jordanic possessions of Israel were not included in the land of Canaan properly speaking.
Judges 11:21
The title “God of Israel” has a special emphasis here, and in Judges 11:23. in a narrative of transactions relating to the pagan and their gods.
Judges 11:24
Chemosh was the national god of the Moabites (see the marginal references); and as the territory in question was Moabitish territory before the Amorites took it from “the people of Chemosh,” this may account for the mention of Chemosh here rather than of Moloch, or Milcom, the god of the Ammonites. Possibly the king of the children of Ammon at this time may have been a Moabite.
Judges 11:25, Judges 11:26
Jephthah advances another historical argument. Balak, the king of Moab, never disputed the possession of Sihon’s kingdom with Israel.
