Astaroth – On this place compare Gen 14:5 and note.
In Edrei – These words should, to render the sense clear, come next after slain. The battle in which Sihon and Og were defeated took place at Edrei.

After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon,…. Either Moses, speaking of himself in the third person, or rather the Lord, to whom Moses ascribes the victory; of this king, and his palace, and the slaughter of him, see Nu 21:24,
and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Ashtaroth in Edrei; or near Edrei; for Edrei was not the name of a country, in which Ashtaroth was, but of a city at some distance from it, about six miles, as Jerom says g; hither Og came from Ashtaroth his palace to fight with Israel, and where he was slain, see Nu 21:33. Ashtaroth was an ancient city formerly called Ashtaroth Karnaim, and was the seat of the Rephaim, or giants, from whom Og sprung, [See comments on Ge 14:5], see also De 3:11. Jerom says h in his time there were two castles in Batanea (or Bashan) called by this name, nine miles distant from one another, between Adara (the same with Edrei) and Abila; and in another place he says i Carnaim Ashtaroth is now a large village in a corner of Batanea, and is called Carnea, beyond the plains of Jordan; and it is a tradition that there was the house of Job.

The repeating again those instances of divine mercy to Israel,
in the destruction of their enemies, forms no improper preface
to Moses’ Sermon. When our JESUS had subdued our enemies
by his victory on the cross, he came to speak peace to his
disciples; to them that were nigh, and to them that were afar
off. Luk 24:36 ; Eph 2:16-17 .

Deu 1:4 After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
Ver. 4. After he had slain Sihon. ] If Samson had not turned aside to see the lion, that not long before he had slain, he had not found the honey in the carcass. Jdg 14:8 So, if we recognise not our dangers, deliverances, and achievements, we shall neither taste how sweet the Lord is, nor return him his due praises. To true thankfulness is required, (1.) Recognition; (2.) Estimation; (3.) Retribution. See them all in Psa 116:3 ; Psa 116:7 ; Psa 116:12 .
