Context of Deuteronomy 2:32
30But King Sihon of Heshbon wouldn’t allow us to pass through. The Lord your God made him stubborn and overconfident in order to hand him over to you, as he has now done. 31The Lord said to me, “I have begun to give you Sihon and his country. Go ahead! Take possession of his land.” Sihon and all his troops came out to meet us in battle at Jahaz. 33The Lord our God gave Sihon to us, and we defeated him, his sons, and all his troops. 34At that time we captured all his cities and claimed them for God by destroying men, women, and children. There were no survivors.
