Exegesis
The prepositional phrase lamilchamah {לַמִּלְחָמָה | la-mil-ḥā-māh} establishes the martial intent, and the place name Yahatzah {יָֽהְצָה | yā-ḥə-ṣāh} identifies the battle site without a prefixed preposition, a common locative pattern. This structure foregrounds both Sihon’s initiative and the mobilization of his populace for conflict.
In context — Deuteronomy 2:32
Then Sihon came out to meet us—he and all his people—for battle at Jahaz .
