Numbers 21:21-31
21And IsraelH3478 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, sayingH559, 22Let me passH5674 through thy landH776: we will not turnH5186 into the fieldsH7704, or into the vineyardsH3754; we will not drinkH8354 of the watersH4325 of the wellH875: but we will go alongH3212 by the king’sH4428 highwayH1870, until we have pastH5674 thy bordersH1366. 23And SihonH5511 would not permitH5414 IsraelH3478 to passH5674 through his borderH1366: but SihonH5511 gatheredH622 all his peopleH5971 togetherH622, and went outH3318 againstH7125 IsraelH3478 into the wildernessH4057: and he cameH935 to JahazH3096, and foughtH3898 against IsraelH3478. 24And IsraelH3478 smoteH5221 him with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and possessedH3423 his landH776 from ArnonH769 to JabbokH2999, even to the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983: for the borderH1366 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 was strongH5794. 25And IsraelH3478 tookH3947 all these citiesH5892: and IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in all the citiesH5892 of the AmoritesH567, in HeshbonH2809, and in all its villagesH1323.1 26For HeshbonH2809 was the cityH5892 of SihonH5511 the kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, who had foughtH3898 against the formerH7223 kingH4428 of MoabH4124, and takenH3947 all his landH776 out of his handH3027, even to ArnonH769. 27Therefore they that speak in proverbsH4911 sayH559, ComeH935 into HeshbonH2809, let the cityH5892 of SihonH5511 be builtH1129 and preparedH3559: 28For there hast a fireH784 gone outH3318 of HeshbonH2809, a flameH3852 from the cityH7151 of SihonH5511: it hath consumedH398 ArH6144 of MoabH4124, and the lords of the high placesH1181 of ArnonH769. 29WoeH188 to thee, MoabH4124! thou art undoneH6, O peopleH5971 of ChemoshH3645: he hath givenH5414 his sonsH1121 that escapedH6412, and his daughtersH1323, into captivityH7622 to SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567. 30We have shotH3384 at them; HeshbonH2809 hast perishedH6 even to DibonH1769, and we have laid them wasteH8074 even to NophahH5302, which reacheth to MedebaH4311. 31Thus IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in the landH776 of the AmoritesH567.
