Matthew Poole and continuators on Deuteronomy 2:29

29 (As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me ) until I shall pass over Jordan, into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.

Obj. The King of Ed[illegible: 1+ letters], i. e. of the children of Esau, did not grant them passage, Numb. 20. Answ. They did permit them to pass quietly by the borders, though not through the heart of their Land, and in their passage the people sold them meat and drink, being it seems more kind to them than their King would have had them; and therefore they here ascribe this favour not to the King, though they are now treating with a King, but to the people, the children of Esau.
