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.

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.
