Matthew Poole and continuators on Judges 11:26

26 While Israel dwelt in Heshbon, and her towns, and in Aroer, and her towns, and in all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years ? why therefore did ye not recover them within that time?

Not precisely, but about that time, either from their coming out of Egypt; or, from their first Conquest of those Lands; and thus numbers are oft expressed, see Numb. 1▪ 46. and 2. 32. and 11. 21. Iudg. 20. 46. He urgeth Prescription▪ which is by all men reckoned a just Title, and it is fit it should be so for the good of the World, because otherwise the Door would be opened both to Kings, and to private Persons, for infinite Contentions and Confusions.
