Amorites » Conquest of
The people of Israel sent messengers to the Amorite king Sihon to say: Let us go through your country. We will not go through any of your fields or vineyards or drink any of the water from your wells. We will stay on the king's highway until we have passed through your territory. Sihon would not let Israel pass through his territory. Sihon gathered all his troops and came out into the desert to attack Israel. When Sihon's troops came to Jahaz, they fought against Israel. read more.
Israel defeated them in battle and took possession of their land from the Arnon Valley to the Jabbok River. They stopped at the border of the Ammon because it was fortified. The Israelites settled in the Amorite towns. They settled in the capital city of Heshbon with its surrounding villages. King Sihon ruled from Heshbon after defeating the Moabites and taking over their land north of the Arnon River gorge. That is why the Amorites had written this poem about Heshbon: Come and rebuild Heshbon, King Sihon's capital city! His armies marched out like fiery flames, burning down the town of Ar and destroying the hills along the Arnon River. You Moabites are done for! Your god Chemosh deserted your people. They were captured, taken away by King Sihon the Amorite. We completely defeated Moab. The towns of Heshbon and Dibon, of Nophah and Medeba are ruined and gone.

As they fled from Israel, and were going down to Beth-horon, Jehovah cast down great stones from heaven upon them all the way to Azekah and they died. In fact hailstones killed more than the children of Israel killed using their swords.

There had often been war between Hadadezer and Toi. Joram brought articles of gold, silver, and copper with him.
