Ibn Ezra on Numbers 22:2/אבן עזרא על במדבר כ״ב:ב׳
אלאמורי. בקמצות הלמ"ד והטעם לידוע שהוא סיחון ועוג ולא הי' במלכי כנען גדולים כאלה והעד אשר כגובה ארזים גבהו:
1TO THE AMORITES. The lamed prefixed to the word emori (Amorite) is vocalized with a kamatz.1 so vocalized indicates the definite article. Its reference is to the famous Amorites Sihon and Og. There were no kings among the Canaanites as great as they. Whose height was like the height of the cedars (Amos 2:9) is proof of this.2 [Sihon and Og] before them, Whose height was like the height of the cedars (Amos 2:9).
