Deuteronomy 2:26-37 - The Defeat Of King Sihon

26 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying, 27 Let me pass through your land. I will go along by the highway. I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the left. 28 You shall sell me food for silver, so that I may eat, and give me water for silver so that I may drink. Only I will pass through on my feet, 29 as the sons of Esau who live in Seir, and the Moabites who live in Ar, did to me, until I shall cross over Jordan into the land which Jehovah our God gives us. 30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him. For Jehovah your God hardened his spirit and made his heart stubborn so that He might deliver him into your hand, as it is this day.

31 And Jehovah said to me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before you. Begin to possess it so that you may inherit his land. 32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz. 33 And Jehovah our God delivered him before us. And we struck him and his sons and all his people. 34 And we took all his cities at that time and completely destroyed the men and the women and the little ones of every city. We left none to remain. 35 Only we plundered the cattle for ourselves, and we took the spoil of the cities. 36 From Aroer, by the brink of the river of Arnon, and the city by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us. Jehovah our God delivered all to us. 37 Only to the land of the sons of Ammon you did not come, to any place of the river Jabbok, nor to the cities in the mountains, nor to whatever Jehovah our God denied us.
