Numbers 21:19-26

¹⁹from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel into Bamoth;

²⁰Bamoth is a valley in the country of Moab, in the top of Pisgah, that beholdeth against the desert.

²¹Soothly Israel sent messengers to Sihon, king of Amorites, and said,

²²I beseech thee, that it be leaveful to me to pass through thy land; we shall not bow into thy fields, and vineries or vines; we shall not drink waters of thy pits; we shall go in the king’s way, till we pass by thy terms.

²³Which would not grant that Israel should pass through his coasts, but rather, when his host was gathered, he went out against Israel, into desert. And he came into Jahaz, and fought against Israel;

²⁴of whom he was smitten in the sharpness of sword, and his land was wielded of Israel from Arnon unto Jabbok, and Ammon’s sons, or his host; for the coasts of Ammonites were holden with strong help, or power.

²⁵Therefore Israel took all his cities, and dwelled in the cities of Amorites, that is, in Heshbon, and in his towns.

²⁶The city of Heshbon was Sihon’s, king of Amorites, which Sihon fought against the king of Moab, and took all the land that was of his lordship, till to Arnon.
