Numbers 21:21-35

211Then IsraelH3478 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to SihonH5511, kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, sayingH559, 22“2Let me passH5674 throughH5674 your landH776. We will not turnH5186 off into fieldH7704 or vineyardH3754; we will not drinkH8354 waterH4325 from wellsH875. We will goH1980 by the king’sH4428 highwayH1870 untilH5704H834 we have passedH5674 throughH5674 your borderH1366.” 233But SihonH5511 would not permitH5414 IsraelH3478 to passH5674 throughH5674 his borderH1366. So SihonH5511 gatheredH622 allH3605 his peopleH5971 and wentH3318 out againstH7122 IsraelH3478 in the wildernessH4057, and cameH935 to 4JahazH3096 and foughtH3898 against IsraelH3478. 24Then 5IsraelH3478 6struckH5221 him with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and tookH3423 possessionH3423 of his landH776 from the ArnonH769 to the JabbokH2999, as farH5704 as the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983; for the 7borderH1366 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983 was 8JazerH3270. 25IsraelH3478 tookH3947 allH3605 theseH428 citiesH5892 and 9IsraelH3478 livedH3427 in allH3605 the citiesH5892 of the AmoritesH567, in HeshbonH2809, and in allH3605 her 10villagesH1323. 26For HeshbonH2809 was the cityH5892 of SihonH5511, kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, whoH1931 had foughtH3898 against the formerH7223 kingH4428 of MoabH4124 and had takenH3947 allH3605 his landH776 out of his handH3027, as farH5704 as the ArnonH769. 27ThereforeH5921H3651 those who useH4911 proverbsH4911 sayH559, “ComeH935 to HeshbonH2809! Let it be builtH1129! So let the cityH5892 of SihonH5511 be establishedH3559.2811For a fireH784 wentH3318 forthH3318 from HeshbonH2809, A flameH3852 from the townH7151 of SihonH5511; It devouredH398 12ArH6144 of MoabH4124, The 1314dominantH1167 15heightsH1181 of the ArnonH769.2916WoeH188 to you, O MoabH4124! You are ruinedH6, O peopleH5971 of 17ChemoshH3645! 18He has givenH5414 his sonsH1121 as fugitivesH6412, 19And his daughtersH1323 into captivityH7622, To an AmoriteH567 kingH4428, SihonH5511.30But we have castH3384 them downH3384, HeshbonH2809 is ruinedH6 as farH5704 as 20DibonH1769, Then we have laidH8074 wasteH8074 evenH5704 to NophahH5302, WhichH834 reaches to MedebaH4311.”

31Thus IsraelH3478 livedH3427 in the landH776 of the AmoritesH567. 32MosesH4872 sentH7971 to spyH7270 out 21JazerH3270, and they capturedH3920 its villagesH1323 and dispossessedH3423 the AmoritesH567 whoH834 were thereH8033.

3322Then they turnedH6437 and wentH5927 up by the wayH1870 of BashanH1316, and OgH5747 the kingH4428 of BashanH1316 wentH3318 out 23with allH3605 his peopleH5971, for battleH4421 at 24EdreiH154. 34But the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “25Do not fearH3372 him, for I have givenH5414 him into your handH3027, and allH3605 his peopleH5971 and his landH776; and you shall doH6213 to him as you didH6213 to SihonH5511, kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, whoH834 livedH3427 at HeshbonH2809.” 35So 26they 27killedH5221 him and his sonsH1121 and allH3605 his peopleH5971, untilH5704 there was noH1115 remnantH8300 leftH7604 him; and they possessedH3423 his landH776.
