Numbers 21:21-31
21And IsraelH3478 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, sayingH559,
22Let us passH5674 through thy landH776; we will not turnH5186 into the fieldsH7704, or into the vineyardsH3754; we will not drinkH8354 waterH4325 out of the wellsH875; on the king's roadH1870 will we go until we have passedH5674 thy borderH1366.
23But SihonH5511 would not suffer IsraelH3478 to goH3318 through his borderH1366; and SihonH5511 gatheredH622 all his peopleH5971, and wentH3318 out against IsraelH3478 into the wildernessH4057, and cameH935 to JahazH3096, and foughtH3898 against IsraelH3478.
24And IsraelH3478 smote him with the edge of the swordH2719, and tookH3423 possessionH3423 of his landH776 from the ArnonH769 to the JabbokH2999, even unto the children of AmmonH5983; for the borderH1366 of the children of AmmonH5983 was strongH5794.
25And IsraelH3478 tookH3947 all these citiesH5892, and IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in all the citiesH5892 of the AmoritesH567, at HeshbonH2809, and in all its dependent villages.
26For HeshbonH2809 was the cityH5892 of SihonH5511 the kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567; and he had foughtH3898 against the formerH7223 kingH4428 of MoabH4124, and had takenH3947 all his landH776 out of his handH3027, even unto the ArnonH769.
27ThereforeH3651 the poets sayH559, ComeH935 to HeshbonH2809; let the cityH5892 of SihonH5511 be builtH1129 and establishedH3559.
28For there wentH3318 forthH3318 fireH784 from HeshbonH2809, a flameH3852 from the city of SihonH5511; It consumedH398 ArH6144 of MoabH4124, the lords of the highH1116 placesH1116 of the ArnonH769.
29WoeH188 to thee, MoabH4124! thou art undone, peopleH5971 of ChemoshH3645: He gaveH5414 his sonsH1121 that had escaped, and his daughtersH1323 into captivityH7628 to SihonH5511 the kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567.
30And we have shotH3384 at them; HeshbonH2809 is perishedH6 even unto DibonH1769; and we have laid [them] waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto MedebaH4311.
31And IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in the landH776 of the AmoritesH567.
