Judges 11:13-22
13And the kingH4428 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983 saidH559 to the messengersH4397 of JephthahH3316, “It is becauseH3588 IsraelH3478 1tookH3947 my landH776 when they cameH5927 upH5927 from EgyptH4714, from the ArnonH769 as farH5704 as the 2JabbokH2999 and the JordanH3383; so returnH7725 them peaceablyH7965 nowH6258.”
14But JephthahH3316 sentH7971 messengersH4397 onceH5750 againH3254 to the kingH4428 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983,
15and they saidH559 to him, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 JephthahH3316 saysH559: ‘IsraelH3478 did not takeH3947 the landH776 of MoabH4124 norH3808 the landH776 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983.
16For when they cameH5927 upH5927 from EgyptH4714, and IsraelH3478 3wentH1980 through the wildernessH4057 to the 4RedH5488 SeaH3220, and 5cameH935 to KadeshH6946,
17then IsraelH3478 6sentH7971 messengersH4397 to the kingH4428 of EdomH112, sayingH559, “PleaseH4994 let us passH5674 through your landH776”; but the kingH4428 of EdomH112 would not listenH8085. 7And they alsoH1571 sentH7971 messengers to the kingH4428 of MoabH4124, but he would not consentH14. So IsraelH3478 remainedH3427 at KadeshH6946.
18Then they wentH1980 through the wildernessH4057 and 8aroundH5437 the landH776 of EdomH112 and the landH776 of MoabH4124, and cameH935 to the eastH4217H8121 sideH4217H8121 of the landH776 of MoabH4124, and they campedH2583 beyondH5676 the ArnonH769; but they 9did not enterH935 the territoryH1366 of MoabH4124, for the ArnonH769 was the borderH1366 of MoabH4124.
19And IsraelH3478 sentH7971 10messengersH4397 to SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, the kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809; and IsraelH3478 saidH559 to him, “PleaseH4994 let us passH5674 through your landH776 to our placeH4725.”
20But SihonH5511 did not trustH539 IsraelH3478 to passH5674 through his territoryH1366; so SihonH5511 gatheredH622 allH3605 his peopleH5971 and campedH2583 in JahazH3096, and foughtH3898 with IsraelH3478.
21And the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, handedH5414H3027 SihonH5511 and allH3605 his peopleH5971 overH5414 to IsraelH3478, and they 1112defeatedH5221 them; so IsraelH3478 tookH3423 possessionH3423 of allH3605 the landH776 of the AmoritesH567, the inhabitantsH3427 of that countryH776.
2213So they possessedH3423 allH3605 the territoryH1366 of the AmoritesH567, from the ArnonH769 as farH5704 as the JabbokH2999, and from the wildernessH4057 as farH5704 as the JordanH3383.
