04:021:022 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the
fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters
of the well: but we will go along by the king's high way,
until we be past thy borders.
04:021:023 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.
04:021:024 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.
04:021:025 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the
cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages
thereof.
04:021:026 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.
04:021:027 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
04:021:028 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.
04:021:029 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.
04:021:030 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and
we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto
Medeba.
04:021:031 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
