(ii) Cheshbown (2809) - a place East of the Jordan - contrivance; by implication, intelligence: From Chashab (2803);a primitive root; properly, to plait or interpenetrate, i.e. (literally) to weave or (gen.) to fabricate; figuratively, to plot or contrive (usually in a malicious sense); hence (from the mental effort) to think, regard, value, compute:
(Stronghold)-- the former capital of SIHON, king of the Amorites (see Map 3, C-4). Situated in Transjordan about 80 kilometers (50 miles) east of Jerusalem and approximately 23 kilometers (14 miles) southwest of modern Amman, Jordan, Heshbon was captured by the Israelites <Josh. 12:1-2>, then rebuilt and populated by the tribes of Reuben <Josh. 13:17> and Gad <1 Chr. 6:81>. Later, it was captured by Mesha, King of Moab, and was denounced by the prophets <Is. 15:4; 16:8-9>.
