"And he smote them from Aroer until thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto Abelcheramim, with a very great slaughter. So the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel." — Judges 11:33 (ASV)
To Minnith. — According to Eusebius and Jerome, this is Maanith, four miles from Heshbon (Ezekiel 27:17).
Unto the plain of the vineyards. — Rather, unto Abel-ceramim. The place is either Abela, a few miles beyond Maanith, or another Abela, twelve miles from Gadara (Eusebius and Jerome).
Were subdued before. —Judges 3:30; Judges 8:28.
