23 (A)But Sihon would not permit Israel to pass through his border. So Sihon gathered all his people and went out against Israel in the wilderness, and came to (B)Jahaz and fought against Israel. 24 Then (C)Israel (a)struck him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the sons of Ammon; for the (D)border of the sons of Ammon was (b)Jazer. 25 Israel took all these cities and (E)Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all her (c)villages.
