27 That is why those who speak in proverbs say,“Come to Heshbon, let it be built.Let the city of Sihon be established!
28 For 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.
29 Woe 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.
30 We have overpowered them;Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon.We have shattered them as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba.”
31 So the Israelites lived in the land of the Amorites.
32 Moses sent spies to reconnoiter Jaazer, and they captured its villages and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.
33 Then they turned and went up by the road to Bashan. And King Og of Bashan and all his forces marched out against them to do battle at Edrei.
