Deuteronomy 2:24-36

24Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon. Behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the king of Heshbon, the Amorite, and his land: begin, take possession, and engage with him in battle.

25This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the peoples under the whole heaven; who will hear report of thee, and will tremble, and quake because of thee.

26And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon the king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,

27Let me pass through thy land: by the highway alone will I go; I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the left.

28Thou shalt sell me food for money that I may eat; and thou shalt give me water for money that I may drink; I will only pass through on my feet,

29— as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me, — until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which Jehovah our 1God giveth us.

30But Sihon the king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for Jehovah thy 2God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obdurate, that he might give him into thy hand, as it is this day.

31And Jehovah said to me, Behold, I begin to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin, take possession, that thou mayest possess his land.

32And Sihon came out against us for battle, he and all his people, to Jahaz.

33But Jehovah our 3God gave him up before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and his whole people.

34And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every city, men, and women, and little ones: we let none escape.

35Only the cattle we took as booty for ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.

36From Aroer, which is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the ravine even to Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: Jehovah our 4God delivered all before us.
