Deuteronomy 2:30-37

30But Sihon, the king of Heshbon, refused to let us travel through his country. He was too proud to agree with us. The Lord our God had caused him to be like that. He wanted to put King Sihon under your power and give his land to you. You still live in his land today.

31The Lord said to me, ‘Look! I have begun to give King Sihon and his country to you. Now you must begin to fight against him and take his land for yourselves.’

32Then Sihon and all his army came out to fight a battle against us at Jahaz.

33The Lord our God put him under our power. We won the battle against him. We killed King Sihon and his sons and all his soldiers.

34At that time we took all his towns and we gave everything as a gift to the Lord. We killed the men, women and children. We left no one alive.

35But we kept the farm animals and other valuable things in the cities for ourselves.

36The Lord our God gave us all their towns. That included Aroer, on the edge of the Arnon valley, the city in the valley and other towns all the way to Gilead. No town was too strong for us to take.

37But we did not go into the Ammonites' country. We did not go into the Jabbok valley. We did not go near the towns in the hill country. The Lord our God had commanded us not to attack those places.
