Theological / Devotional

Jahaz. Perhaps a city in the plain of Moab, later a part of the territory of Reuben. The exact site is unknown (see Deut. 2:32; Isa. 15:4; Jer. 48:21).

Fought against Israel. The Israelites had been assured they would be victorious (Deut. 2:31). The Amorite people were destined to destruction (Joshua 3:10), and they themselves now invited disaster by coming out intending to destroy God’s people.
