Commentary
2 notes on this verseAnd when ye came unto this place,.... The borders of Moab, the wilderness before it, to which joined the plains they were now in; see Num 21:13, Sihon king of Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle; not together, but one after the other, and that very quickly; as soon almost as they had fought with the one, and conquered him, the other came out against them: and we smote them; killed them and their armies, and the inhabitants of their countries; the history of which see in Num 21:23.
This site's exposition
when ye came unto this place
on Deuteronomy 29:7-9
Sihon and Og are the last stroke of history this generation took part in, which is why the retelling stops there. Numbers 21:21-35 gives the two battles and Numbers 32 gives the grant of that land to Reuben, Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh, and those tribes already hold their inheritance while the rest of the nation waits. Albert Barnes notes that the word rendered prosper in verse 9 carries the sense of acting wisely, so keeping the covenant and doing well sit inside one Hebrew word rather than standing as a deed and its reward.
