Commento su Numeri 21:25
וַיִּקַּח֙ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֵ֥ת כָּל־הֶעָרִ֖ים הָאֵ֑לֶּה וַיֵּ֤שֶׁב יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ בְּכָל־עָרֵ֣י הָֽאֱמֹרִ֔י בְּחֶשְׁבּ֖וֹן וּבְכָל־בְּנֹתֶֽיהָ׃
E Israele prese tutte queste città; e Israele dimorò in tutte le città degli Amoriti, a Heshbon e in tutte le città.

Sforno on Numbers
בכל ערי האמורי בחשבון ובכל בנותיה, for all the cities which Sichon had captured previously had become satellite tows of Cheshbon his capital. We encounter the expression בנות in this sense in Ezekiel 16,61. ונתתי אותם לך לבנות, where the word בנות means “suburbs” according to Rashi.
