SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:33
Y volvieron, y subieron camino de Basán, y salió contra ellos Og rey de Basán, él y todo su pueblo, para pelear en Edrei.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 33. And they turned , etc.] From Jaazer, after they had taken it, and came back a little way: and went up by the way of Bashan ; which was a nearer way to Canaan, a fine country abounding with oxen and sheep, having rich pastures, and very famous for its oaks; it had its name from the mountain of Bashan in it, and has been since called Batanea; it was at this time in the hands of the Amorites, and from them it was taken by Israel, as follows: who marched this way for that purpose, or at least were so directed by the providence of God for that end: and Og king of Bashan went out against them ; who was of the race of the giants, and he himself of a gigantic stature, and was a king of the Amorites, as well as Sihon, ( Deuteronomy 3:8,11), he came out in an hostile manner against Israel, to stop them going any further: he, and all his people : out of his many cities, a numerous army no doubt: to the battle at Edrei ; where it was fought between him and Israel. Jerom says it was in his time called Adara, a famous city of Arabia, twenty four or twenty five miles from Bozra, and six from Ashtaroth Karnaim, the ancient seat of the Rephaim, or giants from whom Og sprung, ( Genesis 14:5), and was the seat of Og now, from whence he came to Edrei or Adara, to meet and fight Israel there; (see Deuteronomy 1:4).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 21-35 - Sihon went with his forces against Israel, out of his own borders without provocation, and so ran upon his own ruin. The enemies of God' church often perish by the counsels they think most wisely taken. Og king of Bashan, instead of being warned by the fate of his neighbours to make peace with Israel, makes war with them, which proves in lik manner his destruction. Wicked men do their utmost to secure themselve and their possessions against the judgments of God; but all in vain when the day comes on which they must fall. God gave Israel success while Moses was with them, that he might see the beginning of the glorious work, though he must not live to see it finished. This was, i comparison, but as the day of small things, yet it was an earnest of great things. We must prepare for fresh conflicts and enemies. We mus make no peace or truce with the powers of darkness, nor even treat with them; nor should we expect any pause in our contest. But, trusting i God, and obeying his commands, we shall be more than conquerors ove every enemy __________________________________________________________________
