Context of Deuteronomy 2:25

23The same thing happened to the Avvites who lived in villages as far away as Gaza. The Caphtorites, who came from Crete, wiped them out and took their place. 24⌞The Lord continued,⌟ “Now break camp. Cross the Arnon Valley. I’m going to hand King Sihon of Heshbon, the Amorite, over to you. Fight him, and take possession of his country. Today I will start to make all the people under heaven terrified of you. When they hear about you, they will tremble and shake because of you.” 26From the desert of Kedemoth, I sent messengers to King Sihon of Heshbon with the following offer of peace: 27“If you allow us to travel through your country, we’ll go straight through and won’t ever leave the road.
