First, in plain English
Good grazing land east of the Jordan, taken from Sihon, which Reuben and Gad asked for because of their flocks.
Who this is
Shebam was a pastoral town east of the Jordan, in territory taken from Sihon, requested by and eventually granted to the tribes of Reuben and Gad because of its excellent grazing land (Numbers 32:3-4, 38). It is likely the same place called Sibmah elsewhere, later famous for its vineyards until Moab overran it (Isaiah 16:8-9; Jeremiah 48:32).
