Deuteronomy 1:4

After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:

Ver. 4. After he had slain Sihon.] If Samson had not turned aside to see the lion, that not long before he had slain, he had not found the honey in the carcass. Jdg 14:8 So, if we recognise not our dangers, deliverances, and achievements, we shall neither taste how sweet the Lord is, nor return him his due praises. To true thankfulness is required, (1.) Recognition; (2.) Estimation; (3.) Retribution. See them all in Psalms 116:3; Psalms 116:7; Psalms 116:12 .
