Numbers

²⁶For Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and taken all his land out of his hand, as far as [the river] Arnon. ²⁷That is why those who sing ballads say, Come to Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and established. ²⁸For fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon; it has devoured Ar of Moab and the lords of the heights of the Arnon. ²⁹Woe to you, Moab! You are undone, O people of [the god] Chemosh! Moab has given his sons as fugitives and his daughters into captivity to Sihon king of the Amorites. ³⁰We have shot them down; Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon, and we have laid them waste as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba. ³¹Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites. ³²And Moses sent to spy out Jazer, and they took its villages and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.
