Numbers 21:26-31

²⁶Heshbon was the capital of the country. It was the city where King Sihon ruled. His army had previously defeated the army of the king of Moab, and then his people had begun to live in all of the land of Moab as far as the Arnon River in the south.

²⁷For that reason, one of the poets wrote long ago, “Come to Heshbon, the city where King Sihon ruled. We want the city to be restored/rebuilt.

²⁸A fire blazed from Heshbon; it burned down Ar city in Moab, it destroyed everything on the hills along the Arnon River.

²⁹You people of Moab, terrible things have happened to you! You people who worship your god Chemosh have been ◄annihilated/wiped out►! The men who worshiped MET Chemosh have run away and are now refugees, and the women who worshiped him have been captured by the army of Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group.

³⁰But we have defeated Sihon and those descendants of Amor, all the way from Heshbon in the north to Dibon city in the south. We have completely obliterated/destroyed them as far as Nophah and Medeba towns.”

³¹So the Israeli people began to live in the land where the Amor people-group lived.
