Deuteronomy:2:24-35
rsv@Deuteronomy:2:24 @ `Rise up, take your journey, and go over the valley of the Arnon; behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land; begin to take possession, and contend with him in battle.
rsv@Deuteronomy:2:25 @ This day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon the peoples that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of you and shall tremble and be in anguish because of you.'
rsv@Deuteronomy:2:26 @ "So I sent messengers from the wilderness of Ked'emoth to Sihon the king of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying,
rsv@Deuteronomy:2:27 @ `Let me pass through your land; I will go only by the road, I will turn aside neither to the right nor to the left.
rsv@Deuteronomy:2:28 @ You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat, and give me water for money, that I may drink; only let me pass through on foot,
rsv@Deuteronomy:2:29 @ as the sons of Esau who live in Se'ir and the Moabites who live in Ar did for me, until I go over the Jordan into the land which the LORD our God gives to us.'
rsv@Deuteronomy:2:30 @ But Sihon the king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for the LORD your God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that he might give him into your hand, as at this day.
rsv@Deuteronomy:2:31 @ And the LORD said to me, `Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land over to you; begin to take possession, that you may occupy his land.'
rsv@Deuteronomy:2:32 @ Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.
rsv@Deuteronomy:2:33 @ And the LORD our God gave him over to us; and we defeated him and his sons and all his people.
rsv@Deuteronomy:2:34 @ And we captured all his cities at that time and utterly destroyed every city, men, women, and children; we left none remaining;
rsv@Deuteronomy:2:35 @ only the cattle we took as spoil for ourselves, with the booty of the cities which we captured.
