Judges 11:14-24

14But Jephthah sent messengers once again to the king of the sons of Ammon,

15and they said to him, “This is what Jephthah says: ‘Israel did not take the land of Moab nor the land of the sons of Ammon.

16For when they came up from Egypt, and Israel 1went through the wilderness to the 2Red Sea, and 3came to Kadesh,

17then Israel 4sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, “Please let us pass through your land”; but the king of Edom would not listen. 5And they also sent messengers to the king of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel remained at Kadesh.

18Then they went through the wilderness and 6around the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and came to the east side of the land of Moab, and they camped beyond the Arnon; but they 7did not enter the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab.

19And Israel sent 8messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, “Please let us pass through your land to our place.”

20But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory; so Sihon gathered all his people and camped in Jahaz, and fought with Israel.

21And the Lord, the God of Israel, handed Sihon and all his people over to Israel, and they 910defeated them; so Israel took possession of all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.

2211So they possessed all the territory of the Amorites, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok, and from the wilderness as far as the Jordan.

23And now the Lord, the God of Israel, has driven out the Amorites from His people Israel; so should you possess it?

24Do you not possess what 12Chemosh your god gives you to possess? So whatever the Lord our God has dispossessed before us, we will possess it.
