22 just as He had done for the descendants of Esau, awho dwelt in Seir, when He destroyed bthe Horites from before them. They dispossessed them and dwelt in their place, even to this day.
23 And athe Avim, who dwelt in villages as far as Gaza—bthe Caphtorim, who came from Caphtor, destroyed them and dwelt in their place.)
24 “ ‘Rise, take your journey, and across over the River Arnon. Look, I have given into your hand bSihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to possess it, and engage him in battle.
25 aThis day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon the nations1 under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of you, and shall btremble and be in anguish because of you.’
King Sihon Defeated
26 “And I asent messengers from the Wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon, bwith words of peace, saying,
27 a‘Let me pass through your land; I will keep strictly to the road, and I will turn neither to the right nor to the left.
28 You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat, and give me water for money, that I may drink; aonly let me pass through on foot,
29 ajust as the descendants of Esau who dwell in Seir and the Moabites who dwell in Ar did for me, until I cross the Jordan to the land which the Lord our God is giving us.’
30 a“But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass through, for bthe Lord your God chardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that He might deliver him into your hand, as it is this day.
31 “And the Lord said to me, ‘See, I have begun to agive Sihon and his land over to you. Begin to possess it, that you may inherit his land.’
32 aThen Sihon and all his people came out against us to fight at Jahaz.
33 And athe Lord our God delivered him1 over to us; so bwe defeated him, his sons, and all his people.
34 We took all his cities at that time, and we autterly destroyed the men, women, and little ones of every city; we left none remaining.
35 We took only the livestock as plunder for ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we took.
36 aFrom Aroer, which is on the bank of the River Arnon, and from bthe city that is in the ravine, as far as Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us; cthe Lord our God delivered all to us.
37 Only you did not go near the land of the people of Ammon—anywhere along the River aJabbok, or to the cities of the mountains, or bwherever the Lord our God had forbidden us.
