| Joshua 13:21 | And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdoms of Sehon, king of the Amorrhites, that reigned in Hesebon, *whom Moses slew, with the princes of Madian: Hevi, and Recem, and Sur, and Hur, and Rebe, dukes of Sehon, inhabitants of the land. Numbers 31:8. | The princes of Madian. It appears from hence that these were subjects of king Sehon: they are said to have been slain with him, that is, about the same time, but not in the same battle. (Challoner) --- After the death of their sovereign, they looked upon themselves as independent. They had reigned before as viceroys of Sehon, being natives of the country, and not come from some other part, like the Amorrhites. (Calmet) |
