A fire has gone out from Heshbon, and a flame from the city of Sihon. It consumed Ar of Moab and the lords of the high places who lived in Arnon. Woe to you, Moab! You are destroyed, you people of Chemosh! He has given up his sons as fugitives and his daughters have gone into captivity to Sihon, king of the Amorites. We've fired at them. Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon. We've destroyed them as far as Nophah even as far as Medeba. So Israel lived in Amorite territory. Then Moses sent out explorers to scout Jazer. They captured its towns and drove out the Amorites who were there. Then they turned toward Bashan. However, Og, the king of Bashan, mustered his army and went out to attack them at Edrei. The LORD told Moses, "You are not to fear him, because I'm going to deliver him, his entire army, and his land into your control. Do to him just what you've done to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who used to live in Heshbon." So they attacked him, his sons, and his entire army, until there wasn't even a single survivor left. Then they took possession of his land.
