Numbers 21:25

And Israel took all these cities
Which lay between the rivers Arnon and Jabbok; their particular names may be seen in ( Numbers 32:3 Numbers 32:34-38 ) ,

and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites;
being given to the Reubenites and Gadites, who inhabited them, as their possession and inheritance, ( Numbers 32:2 Numbers 32:33 ) ( Deuteronomy 3:12 Deuteronomy 3:16 ) :

in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof;
or "daughters thereof" {q}. Heshbon was the metropolis or mother city, and all the towns and villages adjacent were as daughters to it; of which city more is said in the following verses, (See Gill on Isaiah 15:4).
