Matthew Poole and continuators on Joshua 13:17

17 Heshbon , and all her cities that are in the plain: Dibon, and Bamoth-baal , and Beth-baalmeon .

This City, and Dibon and Ataroth, were upon the borders of Reuben and Gad, and therefore sometimes are ascribed to Reuben, as here and Numb. 32. 37. sometimes sometimes to Gad, as Numb. 32. 34. 1 Chron. 6. 81. by whom Heshbon is said to be given to the Levites, Ios. 21. 39. Possibly it and the rest were jointly inhabited by both Tribes, as Ierusalem was by Iews and Benjamites.

Of which Numb. 21. 28.

Called Beth-meon, Jer. 48. 23. and Baal-meon, Ezek. 25. 9. part of the Name being cut off, as is usual with the Hebrews.
