Berean Study Bible

and all that He did
This phrase emphasizes the mighty acts of God, showcasing His power and sovereignty. The Hebrew root for "did" is "עָשָׂה" (asah), which means to accomplish or to make. This highlights God's active role in the history of Israel, reminding us that His deeds are purposeful and intentional. It serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness and His ability to fulfill His promises to His people.

to the two kings of the Amorites
The Amorites were a significant group in the ancient Near East, often representing the pagan nations that opposed Israel. The mention of "two kings" specifically refers to Sihon and Og, who were formidable opponents. Historically, the Amorites were known for their strength and influence, making God's victory over them a testament to His supreme power. This phrase underscores the theme of divine intervention and victory over seemingly insurmountable odds.

beyond the Jordan
This geographical reference points to the land east of the Jordan River, which was conquered by the Israelites before they entered the Promised Land. The phrase "beyond the Jordan" signifies a transition from the wilderness wanderings to the conquest of Canaan. It serves as a reminder of God's guidance and provision as He led His people into the land He had promised to their ancestors.

Sihon king of Heshbon
Sihon was the king of the Amorite city-state of Heshbon. The historical and archaeological records suggest that Heshbon was a significant city during this period. The defeat of Sihon is a pivotal moment in Israel's journey, as it opened the way for the conquest of the Promised Land. This victory is a testament to God's promise to give Israel the land of Canaan and His ability to overcome any obstacle in their path.

and Og king of Bashan
Og was another powerful Amorite king, ruling over the region of Bashan. The mention of Og highlights the formidable nature of Israel's enemies and the miraculous nature of their victories. Bashan was known for its fertile land and strong fortifications, making Og's defeat a significant achievement. This phrase reinforces the idea that no enemy is too great for God to overcome on behalf of His people.

who reigned in Ashtaroth
Ashtaroth was a major city in the region of Bashan, associated with the worship of the Canaanite goddess Astarte. The mention of Ashtaroth not only provides a geographical context but also highlights the spiritual battle between the God of Israel and the pagan deities of the land. This victory symbolizes the triumph of God's holiness over idolatry and false worship, encouraging believers to trust in God's power to overcome spiritual strongholds.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 10. - Sihon, king of Heshbon, and Og, the king of Bashan (see Numbers 21:21, 35). Ashtaroth (see Joshua 12:4; Joshua 13:31; also Deuteronomy 1:4). In Numbers 21. Edrei only is mentioned. This is not the Ashtaroth-Karnaim of Genesis 14:5, which is so called from the worship of the horned Astarte, or crescent (see below), to distinguish it from this Ashtaroth. The two cities were close together. Eusebius and Jerome state that they were only nine miles apart. The site of this city has been identified with Tel Ashtereh, in a wide plain on the east of Jordan. It appears as Astaratu in the Karnak list of cities captured by Thothines III. The name has been identified with the Assyrian Ishtar, the Persian, Greek, and Latin aster and our star. So Gesenius, 'Thesaurus,' s.v. Whence Lucian seems to have been wrong in his idea that the worship of Astarte, like that of Artemis at Ephesus, was that of the moon. But Rawlinson, in his 'Ancient Monarchies,' decides against this identification. The last mention of this city in Jewish history is in the bold and successful expedition of Judas Maccabaeus into Gilead, in which he penetrated as far as this city (called Kar-naim), and brought the Jews residing there and in the neighbourhood to Jerusalem (1 Macc. 6.). Kuenen, in his 'History of the Religion of Israel,' makes a distinction between the worship of Ashtaroth and of Asherah. The former he regards as the worship of the moon, and a pure worship; the latter of Venus, and an impure one. But though Asherah and Ashtaroth, or Ashtoreth, are undoubtedly distinct, yet both worships may have been impure, as the worship of Artemis of the Ephesians (the Diana Multimamma, or the image of fecundity) unquestionably was. "It is probable," says Mr. G. Smith, "that the first intention in the mythology was only to represent love as heaven born, but in time a more sensual view prevailed, and the worship of Ishtar became one of the darkest features in Babylonian mythology." The Babylonian Mylitta, or Venus, was worshipped under a crescent form, as Babylonian sculptures prove. A Syrian altar with the crescent on it is now in the Fitzwilliam Museum at Cambridge. It has a female figure on one side, with the crescent, and a male figure - of Baal, no doubt - on the other. Another is mentioned in a late able article in the Times, as having been found in Carehemish, the Hittite capital. The Chaldaean astronomers had, no doubt, discovered the use of telescopes (though in the translucent sky of Chaldaea perhaps the crescent Venus might be seen without them), for we find Saturn represented on their monuments with a ring (see Proctor, 'Saturn and his System,' p. 197). Consequently the worship of the crescent Venus involves no anachronism. Asherah, often wrongly translated "grove" in our version (see Judges 6:25), is probably the goddess Fortune, derived from אֶֶשר, happiness. Ashtaroth is spelt not with Aleph, but with Ain.
