Deuteronomy 2:30-37

30But Sihon king of Heshbon was not willing for us to travel through his land; for the Lord your God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, in order to hand him over to you, as he is today.

31The Lord said to me, ‘Look, I have begun to hand over to you Sihon and his land. Begin! Take possession [of it], so that you may possess his land.’

32“Then at Jahaz, Sihon and all his people came out to meet us in battle.

33So the Lord our God handed him over to us [and gave us the victory], and we defeated him and his sons and all his people.

34At the same time we took all his cities and utterly destroyed every city—men, women and children. We left no survivor.

35We took only the cattle as plunder for ourselves and the spoil of the cities which we had captured.

36From Aroer, which is on the edge of the Arnon Valley, and from the city which is in the valley, as far as Gilead, there was no city [whose wall was] too high and too strong for us; the Lord our God handed over everything to us.

37Only you did not go near the land of the sons of Ammon, all along the river Jabbok and the cities of the hill country, and wherever the Lord our God had forbidden us.
