21:27That is why those who speak in proverbs42 say,
“Come to Heshbon, let it be built.
Let the city of Sihon be established!43
Footnotes
- 42 Proverbs of antiquity could include pithy sayings or longer songs, riddles, or poems composed to catch the significance or the irony of an event. This is a brief poem to remember the event, like an Egyptian victory song. It may have originated as an Amorite war taunt song; it was sung to commemorate this victory. It was cited later by Jeremiah (48:45–46). The composer invites his victorious people to rebuild the conquered city as a new capital for Sihon. He then turns to address the other cities which his God(s) has/have given to him. See P. D. Hanson, “The Song of Heshbon and David’s Nir,” 61 (1968): 301.
- 43 Meaning, “rebuilt and restored.”
