Deuteronomy Chapter 2
Overview
Deu 2:1, The story is continued, that they were not to meddle with the Edomites; Deu 2:9, nor with the Moabites; Deu 2:16, nor with the Ammonites; Deu 2:24, but Sihon the Amorite was subdued by them.

take ye: Mat 5:16; Luk 12:15; Eph 5:15; Phi 2:15; Col 4:5
no, not so much as a foot breadth: Heb. even to the treading of the sole of the foot, Act 7:5

Ar: Ar was situated south of the Arnon; and was called by the Greek writers Areopolis, and thought by them to be so named because the inhabitants worshipped Αρης, or Mars. St. Jerome says that it was destroyed by an earthquake when he was an infant. Burckhardt supposes that the ruins of a small castle called Mehatet el Hadj, may be the site of this ancient city. Deu 2:5; Num 21:15, Num 21:28
the children: Deu 2:19; Gen 19:36, Gen 19:37; Psa 83:8
All the nations here mentioned appear to have been the posterity of Ham, who lay under the prophetical curse of Noah, which was thus executed upon this part of them by the Moabites and Edomites.
as the Anakims: Deu 1:28, Deu 9:2; Num 13:22, Num 13:28, Num 13:33

as Israel did: Israel had, at the time when Moses spake this, conquered Sihon and Og, and taken possession of their countries, as Edom had done to the Horims. Deu 2:22, Deu 2:32-37, Deu 3:1-11; Gen 36:20; Num 21:21-35
brook: or, valley, Num 13:23 *marg.
Zered: The brook or torrent Zered, takes its rise in the mountains of Moab, and, running from east to west, falls into the Dead Sea. It seems to be the stream which Burckhardt calls Wady Beni Hammad, south of the Modjeb or Arnon, and about five hours north of Kerek. Num 21:12, Zared
Kadeshbarnea: Deu 1:2, Deu 1:19, Deu 1:46; Num 13:26

great: Deu 2:10, Deu 2:11, Deu 1:28, Deu 3:11
but the Lord: These fragments of ancient history seem to be introduced to encourage the Israelites. If the Lord destroyed these gigantic people before the posterity of Lot and of Esau, what cause had the posterity of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, his chosen servants and friends, to fear the Anakims, or the Canaanites? especially as Israel acted by commission from God, and had his promise as their security of success, and the pledge of it in his presence, and the wonders which he had already wrought for them; and as they were the only nation of worshippers of the Lord, in the ordinances of his institution, which could be found on earth. This is so often repeated to possess the minds of the Israelites with a sense of God's providence, which rules every where; displacing one people, and placing another in their stead; and fixing their bounds also, which they cannot pass without his leave. Deu 2:22; Jdg 11:24; Jer 27:7, Jer 27:8; Hab 1:10, Hab 1:11

only I will pass: Num 20:19
As the children: It appears to have been only the Edomites of Kadesh-barnea, south of Canaan, who denied the Israelites a passage; for those of mount Seir, now called Shera, are here expressly said to have granted it them, and this, in fact, was the very road by which they arrived at Canaan.
