SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:21
y todas las ciudades de la campiña, y todo el reino de Sehón rey de los amorreos, que reinó en Hesbón, al cual hirió Moisés, y a los príncipes de Madián, Evi, Requem, y Zur, y Hur, y Reba, príncipes de Sehón que habitaban en aquella tierra.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 13:21
Verse 21. The princes of Midian] See the history of this war, Num. xxxi. 1, &c.; and from that place this and the following verse seem to be borrowed, for the introduction of the death of Balaam here seems quite irrelevant.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 21. And all the cities of the plain , etc.] In the champaign country, as well as those in the mountainous part: and all the kingdom of Sihon ; or, as Masius renders the words, “which all had been the kingdom of Sihon”; for the whole kingdom of Sihon was not given to Reuben, only a part of it, and the rest to Gad, as in ( Joshua 13:27); king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon ; as in ( Joshua 13:10); whom Moses smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur , and Hur, and Reba ; not at the same time that Sihon was smitten by him, but afterwards in a war with Midian, ( Numbers 31:8); where their names are given as here; and there they are called kings of Midian, petty kings, and, as it seems by what follows, were subject to Sihon, and therefore are here mentioned: [which were] dukes of Sihon dwelling in the country ; for Midian, as Kimchi supposes, and not without reason, was under the government of Sihon, and these were his nobles, though they dwelt in the land of Midian.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-33 - The land must be divided among the tribes. It is the will of God tha every man should know his own, and not take that which is another's The world must be governed, not by force, but right. Wherever ou habitation is placed, and in whatever honest way our portion is assigned, we should consider them as allotted of God; we should be thankful for, and use them as such, while every prudent method shoul be used to prevent disputes about property, both at present and in future. Joshua must be herein a type of Christ, who has not onl conquered the gates of hell for us, but has opened to us the gates of heaven, and having purchased the eternal inheritance for all believers will put them in possession of it. Here is a general description of the country given to the two tribes and a half, by Moses. Israel must know their own, and keep to it; and may not, under pretence of their being God's peculiar people, encroach on their neighbours. Twice in thi chapter it is noticed, that to the tribe of Levi Moses gave n inheritance: see Nu 18:20. Their maintenance must be brought out of all the tribes. The ministers of the Lord should show themselve indifferent about worldly interests, and the people should take car they want nothing suitable. And happy are those who have the Lord God of Israel for their inheritance, though little of this world falls to their lot. His providences will supply their wants, his consolation will support their souls, till they gain heavenly joy and everlastin pleasures __________________________________________________________________
