Numbers 21:1-3

1When the Canaanite, the king of 1Arad, who lived in the 2Negev, heard that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, he fought against Israel and took some of them captive. 2So 3Israel made a vow to the Lord and said, “If You will indeed hand over this people to me, then I will 4utterly destroy their cities.” 3The Lord heard the voice of Israel and turned over the Canaanites; then they 5utterly destroyed them and their cities. And the place was named 67Hormah.
