‏ Deuteronomy 2:33-34

v. 33-34: Israel won the battle and destroyed all the Amorites, as God had commanded (v. 33-34 ^a). This was not ordinary war, but a special judgment from God because the Amorites’ sins were so great (Genesis 15:16 ^b). Israel was acting as God’s instrument of justice.

v. 34-36: Israel took the cities, goods, and land of the Amorites (v. 34-36 ^c). For a people who had lived in the wilderness all their lives, this was a huge change. It was a small taste of the greater blessings God had promised them in the land of Canaan, and it points forward to the even greater blessings God gives His people in heaven.
