Deuteronomy 2:24-37 - Defeat Of Sihon The Amorite
24 Rise ye up, remove and pass through the torrent Arnon: see, I gave into thy hand Sihon, king of Heshbon, the Amorite, and his land: begin and possess and thou shalt contend with him in war. 25 This day I will begin to give thy fear and thy terror upon the face of the peoples under all the heavens who shall hear thy report; and they trembled and were concerned from thy face.
26 And I will send messengers out of the desert of Kedemoth to Sihon, king of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying, 27 I will pass over in thy land.; in the way, in the way I will go, I will not turn aside to the right or to the left. 28 Thou shalt sell me food for silver, and I ate; and thou shalt give to me water for silver, and I drank: only I will pass through on my feet; 29 (As the sons of Esau did to me dwelling in Seir, and the Moabites dwelling in Ar,) till when I shall pass over Jordan to the land which Jehovah our God gave to us. 30 And Sihon king of Heshbon was not willing for us to pass by him, for Jehovah thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart strong in order to give him into thy hand as this day.
31 And Jehovah will say to me, See, I began to give before thee Sihon and his land: begin and possess to inherit his land. 32 And Sihon came forth to our meeting, he and all his people to war at Jahaz. 33 Jehovah our God will give him before us; and he smote him and his sons and all his people. 34 And we shall take all his cities in that time, and we shall exterminate every city of men and women and the little ones; we left none to escape. 35 Only the cattle we plundered for ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took. 36 From Aroer which is upon the lip of the torrent Arnon, and the city which is by the torrent, and even to Gilead, not a city which was high above us: Jehovah our God gave all before us. 37 Only to the land of the sons of Ammon thou camest not near, all the land of the torrent Jabbok and the cities of the mountain: all which Jehovah our God commanded us.
