Verse 17
Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain ,.... Which was by Medeba, and reached to Dibon:
Dibon, and Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon ; Dibon was rebuilt by Gad, though it belonged to Reuben, and perhaps was inhabited by both, being on the borders of each; and Bamothbaal signifies the high places of Baal; see Numbers 22:41 ; perhaps this is the same with Bamoth in the valley, Numbers 21:20 ; and Bethbaalmeon is the same with Baalmeon in Numbers 32:38 ; where it is highly probable was a temple of Baal, since both "beth" signifies an house, and "meon" an habitation.
