Context of Deuteronomy 2:14

12The Horites used to live in Seir, but the descendants of Esau claimed their land, wiped them out, and took their place, as Israel did in the land that the Lord gave them. 13Then the Lord said, “Now cross the Zered River.” So we crossed the Zered River. Thirty-eight years passed from the time we left Kadesh Barnea until we crossed the Zered River. During that time all our soldiers from that generation died, as the Lord had sworn they would. 15In fact, it was the Lord himself who got rid of all of them until none were left in the camp. 16When the last of these soldiers had died,
