Commentary
2 notes on this verseAll the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei,.... See Gill on Jos 12:4, who remained of the remnant of the giants; was descended from those that remained in Ashtaroth, after the rest were cut off by Chedorlaomer, Gen 14:5; called there the Rephaim, as here: for these did Moses smite, and cast them out: that is, not only the giants, but the inhabitants of the above kingdom, the greatest part of them; for the Geshurites and the Maachathites are excepted in Jos 13:13.
This site's exposition
the Reubenites and the Gadites
on Joshua 13:8-14
The chapter turns back east and enters what Moses had already given as settled title, so the defeat of Sihon and Og in Numbers 21 and the request of Numbers 32 are written into Joshua's record without being reopened. Verse 13 admits the exception, that Geshur and Maachah were never expelled and dwell among Israel until this day, and Geshur later has a king whose daughter Maacah bears Absalom at 2 Samuel 3:3 and shelters him for three years at 2 Samuel 13:37. Matthew Henry lays that on Israel rather than on the grant, writing that those who are not straitened in God's promises are yet straitened in their own faith, and prayers, and endeavours. Verse 14 gives Levi no land because the offerings made by fire are their portion, which is the wording of Numbers 18:20 and Deuteronomy 18:1 carried over.
How the passage was read
What the Jewish commentators add
From the remnant of the giants— who were slain by Kedorlaomeir and the kings who were aligned with him, as it is said, “And they struck the Rephaim in Ashteros Karnayim.” 8 Bereishis:5.
