9. Sihon was the desert colt and Moab's security depended on him. "For Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites" (Bemidbar 21:13), MEANING THAT HE WAS HIS NEIGHBOR AND GUARDED HIS BORDER. Come and see: When Yisrael destroyed the city of Sihon, the proclamation went forth in the Heavenly Kingdom, MEANING AMONG THE SEVENTY CHIEFTAINS OF THE SEVENTY NATIONS: Gather together, you mighty who rule over other nations, and see how the Emorite kingdom is destroyed.
9. סִיחוֹן: סַיְיחָא דְּמַדְבְּרָא הֲוָה סִיחוֹן. וְרָחְצָנוּ דְּמוֹאָב עָלֵיהּ הֲוָה. כִּי אַרְנוֹן גְּבוּל מוֹאָב בֵּין מוֹאָב וּבֵין הָאֱמוֹרִי. ת"ח, בְּשַׁעֲתָא דְּחָרִיבוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל קַרְתָּא דְּסִיחוֹן, כָּרוֹזָא אִתְעַבָּר בְּמַלְכוּ דִּשְׁמַיָּא, אִתְכְּנָשׁוּ גֻּבְרִין שָׁלְטָנִין עַל שְׁאַר עַמִּין, וְתֶחֱמוּן מַלְכוּ דֶּאֱמוֹרָאָה הֵיךְ אִתְחָרַב בְּמַלְכוּ.
