Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).

↑ 1Joshua 12:2
Ver. 2. Galaad. Sehon occupied from the middle of the torrent Arnon, as far as half of the mountains of Galaad, and the torrent Jaboc. C. --- Og possessed the other half of the mountains northward, while the Ammonites had the eastern parts. H.
↑ 2Joshua 12:3
Ver. 3. Bethsimoth is ten miles from Jericho, (Eus.) near the Dead Sea, in the plains of Moab. C.
--- Phasga. Asedoth lay at the foot of this mountain, being well supplied with water. Subjacet Acedoth usque Phasga, the southern limits of Sehon's dominions had "abundance of springs, as far as Phasga." H.

Ver. 4. Og. See Num. xxi. 33. Deut. iii. 11.
↑ 4Joshua 12:7
Ver. 7. Seir. The same expression occurs, C. xi. 17. Heb. "from Baalgad, in the vale of Libanus, even unto Mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir." H. --- Halak means, "bald or naked." It is not know what mountain it denotes. Josue, (C.) or the Israelites, (H.) conquered "all the country beyond the Jordan, on the north from Baalgad, at the foot of Libanus, and from Hermon, where these mountains meet, as far as the mountains of separation," which divide the country of Chanaan from that of Seir, on the south of Judea. C. --- Baalgad was situated on the north western borders of this territory, not of the Jordan. H.

↑ 16Joshua 12:18
Ver. 18. Aphec. A place of this name was in the tribe of Aser, another in that of Juda. --- Saron.
Heb. "Lasharon;" probably Sarona, (Acts ix. 35,) or a canton near Joppe.
Euseb.
↑ 18Joshua 12:19
Ver. 19. Madon, or Maron, Sept. C. xi. 1. This place is joined with Semeron, in Heb. (v. 20,) improperly. Perhaps it may be the Meros, (Judg. v. 23,) or Maronia, a city of Phœnicia.

Ver. 24. Thersa. Here the kings of Israel kept their court, till Amri built Samaria, (C.) about nine miles more to the north. Brocard. --- One. The two kings slain by Moses (W.) are not included.
