Joshua 13:15-23

15To the tribe of Reuben’s descendants by their clans, Moses gave

16this as their territory: From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the middle of the valley, the whole plateau as far as Medeba,

17with Heshbon and all its cities on the plateau — Dibon, Bamoth-baal, Beth-baal-meon,

18Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,

19Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-shahar on the hill in the valley,

20Beth-peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth —

21all the cities of the plateau, and all the kingdom of King Sihon of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon. Moses had killed him and the chiefs of Midian — Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba — the princes of Sihon who lived in the land.

22Along with those the Israelites put to death, they also killed the diviner, Balaam son of Beor, with the sword.

23The border of the Reubenites was the Jordan and its plain. This was the inheritance of the Reubenites by their clans, with the cities and their settlements.
