Context of Deuteronomy 2:33
31The Lord said to me, “I have begun to give you Sihon and his country. Go ahead! Take possession of his land.” 32Sihon and all his troops came out to meet us in battle at Jahaz. The 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. 35However, we did loot the cities that we captured, taking the cattle and goods.
