Numbers 21:24-32

²⁴And Israel smiteth him by the mouth of the sword, and possesseth his land from Arnon unto Jabbok — unto the sons of Ammon; for the border of the sons of Ammon is strong.

²⁵And Israel taketh all these cities, and Israel dwelleth in all the cities of the Amorite, in Heshbon, and in all its villages;

²⁶for Heshbon is a city of Sihon king of the Amorite, and he hath fought against the former king of Moab, and taketh all his land out of his hand, unto Arnon;

²⁷therefore those using similes say — 'Enter ye Heshbon, Let the city of Sihon be built and ready,

²⁸For fire hath gone out from Heshbon, A flame from the city of Sihon, It hath consumed Ar of Moab, Owners of the high places of Arnon.

²⁹Woe to thee, O Moab, Thou hast perished, O people of Chemosh, He hath given his sons who escape — Also his daughters — Into captivity, to a king of the Amorite — Sihon!

³⁰And we shoot them, Perished hath Heshbon unto Dibon, And we make desolate unto Nophah, Which is unto Medeba.'

³¹And Israel dwelleth in the land of the Amorite,

³²and Moses sendeth to spy out Jaazer, and they capture its villages, and dispossess the Amorite who is there,
