When the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, then he fought against Israel and took some of them captive.

He took up his discourse and said,“From Aram Balak has brought me,Moab’s king from the mountains of the East,‘Come curse Jacob for me,And come, denounce Israel!’

“He has not observed misfortune in Jacob;Nor has He seen trouble in Israel;The Lord his God is with him,And the shout of a king is among them.

“Water will flow from his buckets,And his seed will be by many waters,And his king shall be higher than Agag,And his kingdom shall be exalted.

So Moses gave to them, to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben and to the half-tribe of Joseph’s son Manasseh, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og, the king of Bashan, the land with its cities with their territories, the cities of the surrounding land.

Now the Canaanite, the king of Arad who lived in the Negev in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the sons of Israel.
