Joshua 12:2

12:2 King Sihon of the Amorites who lived ¹  in Heshbon and ruled from Aroer (on the edge of the Arnon Valley) – including the city in the middle of the valley ²  and half of Gilead – all the way to the Jabbok Valley bordering Ammonite territory.

Joshua 19:47

19:47 (The Danites failed to conquer their territory, ³  so they went up and fought with Leshem and captured it. They put the sword to it, took possession of it, and lived in it. They renamed it ⁴  Dan after their ancestor. ⁵ )

¹ tn Or perhaps, “reigned.”

² 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.

³ tn Heb “the territory of the sons of Dan went out from them.”

⁴ tn Heb “Leshem.” The pronoun (“it”) has replaced the name “Leshem” in the translation for stylistic reasons.

⁵ tn Heb “according to the name of their father.”
