Salchah - Compare Jos 12:5; 1Ch 5:11, where it is named as belonging to the tribe of Gad. It lies seven hours’ journey to the southeast of Bostra or Bozrah of Moab. As the eastern border city of the kingdom of Bashan it was no doubt strongly fortified. Edrei - Compare Num 21:33 note.
This site's exposition
the two kings of the Amorites
on Deuteronomy 3:8-10
The territory is measured by its edges, from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon, which is the whole eastern side of Jordan taken in one sentence. Verse 9 stops to give the mountain its other names, Sirion among the Sidonians and Shenir among the Amorites, and Psalm 29:6 uses Sirion for it. Albert Barnes points out that Hermon carried Baal sanctuaries and was a religious centre of old Syria, so the aside names a peak readers of several nations would have known under their own word for it.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
All Gilead - Gilead is sometimes taken for all the Israelites possessions beyond Jordan, and so it comprehends Bashan; but here for that part of it which lies in and near mount Gilead, and so it is distinguished from Bashan and Argob.
All the cities of the plain,....
