20 Yet Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory, so Sihon gathered all his people and set up camp in Jahaz to fight with Israel.
21 “The Lord God of Israel gave Sihon and all his people into the hands of Israel, and they struck them down. So Israel took possession of all the land of the Amorites who lived in that land.
22 They took possession of all of the territory of the Amorites, from the Arnon to the Jabbok and from the desert to the Jordan.
23 “Now that the Lord God of Israel has driven out the Amorites from before His people Israel, should you take it?
24 Will you not take possession of whatever Chemosh your god gives you? So everything that the Lord our God possesses before us, we will take possession of it.
25 Now are you really better than Balak son of Zippor, the king of Moab? Did he ever contend with Israel or wage war with them?
26 Israel has lived in Heshbon and its nearby towns, in Aroer and its nearby towns, and in all the cities along the banks of the River Arnon for three hundred years. Why did you not take them back during that time?
