Numbers 21:13-26

¹³From there they went on and put up their tents on the other side of the Arnon, which is on the waste land at the edge of the land of the Amorites; for the Arnon is the line of division between Moab and the Amorites:

¹⁴As it says in the book of the Wars of the Lord, Vaheb in Suphah, and the valley of the Amon;

¹⁵The slope of the valleys going down to the tents of Ar and touching the edge of Moab.

¹⁶From there they went on to Beer, the water-spring of which the Lord said to Moses, Make the people come together and I will give them water.

¹⁷Then Israel gave voice to this song: Come up, O water-spring, let us make a song to it:

¹⁸The fountain made by the chiefs, made deep by the great ones of the people, with the law-givers' rod, and with their sticks. Then from the waste land they went on to Mattanah:

¹⁹And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:

²⁰And from Bamoth to the valley in the open country of Moab, and to the top of Pisgah looking over Jeshimon.

²¹And Israel sent men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,

²²Let me go through your land: we will not go into field or vine-garden, or take the water of the springs; we will go by the highway till we have gone past the limits of your land.

²³And Sihon would not let Israel go through his land; but got all his people together and went out against Israel into the waste land, as far as Jahaz, to make war on Israel.

²⁴But Israel overcame him, and took all his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the country of the children of Ammon, for the country of the children of Ammon was strongly armed.

²⁵And Israel took all their towns, living in Heshbon and all the towns and small places of the Amorites.

²⁶For Heshbon was the town of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had made war against an earlier king of Moab and taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon.
