*
And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border :
but Sihon gathered all his people together ,
and went out against Israel into the wilderness :
and he came to Jahaz ,
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 was strong .
*
And Israel took all these cities :
and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites ,
in Heshbon ,
and in all the villages thereof .
*
For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites ,
who had fought against the former king of Moab ,
and taken all his land out of his hand ,
even unto Arnon .
*
Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say ,
Come into Heshbon ,
let the city of Sihon be built and prepared :
*
For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon ,
a flame from the city of Sihon :
it hath consumed Ar of Moab ,
and the lords of the high places of Arnon .
*
Woe to thee ,
Moab !
thou art undone ,
O people of Chemosh :
he hath given his sons that escaped ,
and his daughters ,
into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites .
*
We have shot at them ;
Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon ,
and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah ,
which reacheth unto Medeba .
*
Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites .
*
And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer ,
and they took the villages thereof ,
and drove out the Amorites that were there .
