Numbers
Chapters 21:24-30
New English Translation
24But the Israelites defeated him in battle and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the Ammonites, for the border of the Ammonites was strongly defended.
25So Israel took all these cities; and Israel settled in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages.
26For Heshbon was the city of King Sihon of the Amorites. Now he had fought against the former king of Moab and had taken all of his land from his control, as far as the Arnon.
27That is why those who speak in proverbs say,“Come to Heshbon, let it be built.Let the city of Sihon be established!
28For fire went out from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon.It has consumed Ar of Moaband the lords of the high places of Arnon.
29Woe to you, Moab.You are ruined, O people of Chemosh! He has made his sons fugitives,and his daughters the prisoners of King Sihon of the Amorites.
30We have overpowered them;Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon.We have shattered them as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba.”
