Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:
Now these are the kings of the land ... on the other side Jordan. This chapter contains a recapitulation of the conquests made, first in the country east of the Jordan and secondly in what was properly the promised land, with the additional mention of some places not formerly noticed in the sacred history. The river Arnon on the south, and mount Hermon on the north, were the respective boundaries of the land acquired by the Israelites beyond Jordan (see the note at Numbers 21:21; Deuteronomy 2:36; Deuteronomy 3:6-16).
