Numbers:21:21-35

*
Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites ,
saying ,
* "
Let me pass through your land .
We will not turn aside into fields or vineyards ;
we will not drink water from wells .
We will go by the King '
s Highway until we have passed through your territory ."
*
But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory .
So Sihon gathered all his people together and went out against Israel in the wilderness ,
and he came to Jahaz and fought against Israel .
*
Then Israel defeated him with the edge of the sword ,
and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok ,
as far as the people of Ammon ;
for the border of the people of Ammon was fortified .
*
So Israel took all these cities ,
and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites ,
in Heshbon and in all its villages .
*
For Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites ,
who had fought against the former king of Moab ,
and had taken all his land from his hand as far as the Arnon .
*
Therefore those who speak in proverbs say : "
Come to Heshbon ,
let it be built ;
Let the city of Sihon be repaired .
* "
For fire went out from Heshbon ,
A flame from the city of Sihon ;
It consumed Ar of Moab ,
The lords of the heights of the Arnon .
*
Woe to you ,
Moab !
You have perished ,
O people of Chemosh !
He has given his sons as fugitives ,
And his daughters into captivity ,
To Sihon king of the Amorites .
* "
But we have shot at them ;
Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon .
Then we laid waste as far as Nophah ,
Which reaches to Medeba ."
*
Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites .
*
Then Moses sent to spy out Jazer ;
and they took its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there .
*
And they turned and went up by the way to Bashan .
So Og king of Bashan went out against them ,
he and all his people ,
to battle at Edrei .
*
Then the LORD said to Moses , "
Do not fear him ,
for I have delivered him into your hand ,
with all his people and his land ;
and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites ,
who dwelt at Heshbon ."
*
So they defeated him ,
his sons ,
and all his people ,
until there was no survivor left him ;
and they took possession of his land .
