Numbers 21:25-35
25So Israel took all these cities; and Israel settled in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages.
26For Heshbon was the city of King Sihon of the Amorites. Now he had fought against the former king of Moab and had taken all of his land from his control, as far as the Arnon.
27That is why those who speak in proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon, let it be built. Let the city of Sihon be established!
28For fire went out from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has consumed Ar of Moab and the lords of the high places of Arnon.
29Woe to you, Moab. You are ruined, O people of Chemosh! He has made his sons fugitives, and his daughters the prisoners of King Sihon of the Amorites.
30We have overpowered them; Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon. We have shattered them as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba.”
31So the Israelites lived in the land of the Amorites.
32Moses sent spies to reconnoiter Jaazer, and they captured its villages and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.
33Then they turned and went up by the road to Bashan. And King Og of Bashan and all his forces marched out against them to do battle at Edrei.
34And the Lord said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have delivered him and all his people and his land into your hand. You will do to him what you did to King Sihon of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.
35So they defeated Og, his sons, and all his people, until there were no survivors, and they possessed his land.
