Numbers 21:25-35
25Israel took all these cities, and 1Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon and in all her 2villages. 26For Heshbon was the city of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and had taken all his land out of his hand, as far as the Arnon. 27For that reason those who use proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon! Let it be built! So let the city of Sihon be established.283For a fire spread from Heshbon, A flame from the town of Sihon; It devoured 4Ar of Moab, The 56dominant 7heights of the Arnon.298Woe to you, Moab! You are destroyed, people of 9Chemosh! 10He has given his sons as fugitives, 11And his daughters into captivity, To an Amorite king, Sihon.30But we have shot them down with arrows, Heshbon is destroyed as far as 12Dibon, Then we have laid waste as far as Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba.”
31So Israel lived in the land of the Amorites. 32Now Moses sent men to spy out 13Jazer, and they captured its villages and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.
3314Then they turned and went up by the way of Bashan, and Og the king of Bashan went out against them 15with all his people, for battle at 16Edrei. 34But the Lord said to Moses, “17Do not fear him, for I have handed him over to you, and all his people and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.” 35So 18they 19killed him and his sons and all his people, until there was no survivor left; and they took possession of his land.
