What Does Joshua 21:39 Mean?
Two more towns of Gad finish this portion, four cities in all. Heshbon had once been the royal city of an enemy king defeated in Israel's eastward conquests; now it shelters the servants of God.
The seat of a conquered foe becomes a dwelling of those who serve the Lord. What was held by hostile power is given over to peaceful ministry. So the strongholds of old opposition are claimed, in time, for the worship and service of God among His people.
