Commentary

That too was regarded as the land of the Rephaim
on Deuteronomy 2:20-23
The aside widens past Israel's kin: "the LORD destroyed" the Zamzummites before Ammon in the words used of Israel's wars. So the hand that grants a land takes it from another people.
This site's exposition
have lived in their place to this day
The verse returns to Esau's case from verse 12 and sets it beside Ammon's. Two kinsmen of Israel now stand as examples of the same pattern. John Gill treats the Horites and the Zamzummites as instances of one kind.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
As he did to the children of Esau which dwelt in Seir,.... He did the like things for them as he did for the Ammonites: when he destroyed the Horims from before them: which is repeated from Deu 2:12, other instances of the like kind being here recited: and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead, even unto this day; See Gill on Deu 2:12.
