Commentary on Numbers 21:35

Theological / Devotional

They smote him. After defeating the army of Og, Israel occupied the whole country, except for some parts of it that held out awhile longer. The final conquest was accomplished by Jair, the son of Manasseh, who received the region of Argob as his reward (Num. 32:39, 41; Deut. 3:14).

And his sons. Not mentioned in Deut. 3:3.

Possessed his land. This included some 60 fortified cities in addition to a number of smaller towns (Deut. 3:4, 5; Joshua 13:30). This was given to the half tribe of Manasseh, as already stated (Deut. 3:13; Joshua 13:29, 30; 1 Kings 4:13).
