Numbers 21:18-23

¹⁸The princes dug it, The kings of the nations in their kingdom, In their lordship sank it in the rock: and they went from the well to Mattanah,

¹⁹and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth, and from Bamoth to Janen, which is in the plain of Moab as seen from the top of the quarried rock that looks toward the wilderness.

²⁰And Moses sent ambassadors to Sihon king of the Amorites, with peaceable words, saying,

²¹We will pass through thy land, we will go by the road; we will not turn aside to the field or to the vineyard.

²²We will not drink water out of thy well; we will go by the king’s highway, until we have past thy boundaries.

²³And Sihon did not allow Israel to pass through his borders, and Sihon gathered all his people, and went out to set the battle in array against Israel into the wilderness; and he came to Jahaz, and set the battle in array against Israel.
