As he did to the children of Esau which dwelt in Seir,.... He did the like things for them as he did for the Ammonites: when he destroyed the Horims from before them: which is repeated from Deu 2:12, other instances of the like kind being here recited: and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead, even unto this day; See Gill on Deu 2:12.
