Context of Deuteronomy 2:32

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.’ Then 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.
