Numbers:21:25-30
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 ."
