Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Deuteronomy 2:26

Kedemoth. — Mentioned as a city in the plain of Jordan, belonging to Heshbon (Joshua 13:18).

Words of peace. — By this message Sihon was excepted from the catalogue of the doomed kings and nations, according to the distinction drawn in Deuteronomy 20:10; Deuteronomy 20:15. He therefore brought his fate upon himself. He was offered the privileges of the Moabites whom he had conquered, and refused to accept the position.
