Thematic Bible: Refused a passage to israel

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.

King Sihon of Heshbon would not allow us to pass through. Jehovah your God made him stubborn and overconfident in order to hand him over to you, as he has now done. Verse ConceptsFreedom, Of The WillHardened HeartsHeart, Fallen And RedeemedStiffnecked PeopleGod Hardening PeoplePeople Unwilling
