10:29 Joshua and all Israel marched from Makkedah to Libnah and fought against it. 1
12:15 the king of Libnah (one),
the king of Adullam (one),
12:2 King Sihon of the Amorites who lived 2 in Heshbon and ruled from Aroer (on the edge of the Arnon Valley) – including the city in the middle of the valley 3 and half of Gilead – all the way to the Jabbok Valley bordering Ammonite territory.
1 tn Heb “Libnah.” Repetition of the proper name here would be redundant according to English style, so the pronoun (“it”) has been employed in the translation.
2 tn Or perhaps, “reigned.”
3 tc The MT reads here, “and the middle of the valley,” but the reading “the city in the middle of valley” can be reconstructed on the basis of Josh 13:9, 16.
4 tn Heb “and these went out from the city to meet them and they were for Israel in the middle, some on this side, and others on the other side.”
