*
Then Israel sent messengers vnto Sihon ,
King of the Amorites ,
saying ,
*
Let me goe through thy land :
we wil not turne aside into the fieldes ,
nor into the vineyardes ,
neither drinke of the waters of ye welles :
we will goe by the kings way ,
vntill we be past thy countrey .
*
But Sihon gaue Israel no licence to passe through his countrey ,
but Sihon assembled all his people ,
and went out against Israel into the wildernesse :
and he came to Iahoz ,
and fought against Israel .
*
And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword ,
and possessed his land from Arnon unto (

Jabbok ,
even unto the children of Ammon :
for the border of the children of Ammon [

And Israel tooke al these cities , &

who had fought against the former king of Moab ,
and taken all his land out of his hand ,
even unto Arnon .

For there is a (

who was not able to defend his worshippers ,

Chemosh :
he hath given his sons that escaped ,
and his daughters ,
into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites .
*
Their empire also is lost from Heshbon vnto Dibon ,
and wee haue destroyed them vnto Nophah ,
which reacheth vnto Medeba .
*
Thus Israel dwelt in the lande of the Amorites .
*
And Moses sent to searche out Iaazer ,
and they tooke the townes belonging thereto ,
and rooted out the Amorites that were there .
*
And they turned and went vp toward Bashan :
and Og the King of Bashan came out against them ,
hee ,
and all his people ,
to fight at Edrei .
*
Then the Lord said vnto Moses ,
Feare him not :
for I haue deliuered him into thine hand and all his people ,
and his land :
and thou shalt do to him as thou diddest vnto Sihon the king of the Amorites ,
which dwelt at Heshbon .
*
They smote him therefore ,
and his sonnes ,
and all his people ,
vntill there was none left him :
so they conquered his land .
