King Sihon Defeated

21 Then aIsrael sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,  
22 a“Let me pass through your land. We will not turn aside into fields or vineyards; we will not drink water from wells. We will go by the King’s Highway until we have passed through your territory.”  
23 aBut Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory. So Sihon gathered all his people together and1 went out against Israel in the wilderness, band he came to Jahaz and fought against Israel.  
24 Then aIsrael defeated him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the people of Ammon; for the border of the people of Ammon was fortified.  
25 So Israel took all these cities, and Israel adwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon and in all its villages.  
26 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.
27 Therefore those who speak in1 proverbs say:
“Come to Heshbon, let it be built;
Let the city of Sihon be repaired. 
28 “For afire went out from Heshbon,
A flame from the city of Sihon;
It consumed bAr of Moab,
The lords of the cheights of the Arnon. 
29 Woe to you, aMoab!
You have perished, O people of bChemosh!
He has given his csons as fugitives,
And his ddaughters into captivity,
To Sihon king of the Amorites. 
30 “But we have shot at them;
Heshbon has perished aas far as Dibon.
Then we laid waste as far as Nophah,
Which reaches to bMedeba.”  
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
32 Then Moses sent to1 spy out aJazer; and they took its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.  

King Og Defeated

33 aAnd they turned and went up by the way to bBashan. So Og king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle cat Edrei.  
34 Then the Lord said to Moses, a“Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, with all his people and his land; and byou shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.”  
35 aSo they defeated him, his sons, and all his people, until there was no survivor left him; and they took possession of his land.
