Commentary on Deuteronomy 2:30
Sihon's aggressive response—'he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz'—initiated warfare, not Israel's invasion. Sihon's choice to attack rather than allow passage sealed his doom. The specification of location (Jahaz) grounds the narrative in historical reality. God's purposes sometimes advance through enemies' hostile choices—what they intend for evil, God uses for His people's good.
