Numbers
Chapters 21:26-32
New International Version Anglicized
26Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and had taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon.
27That is why the poets say:‘Come to Heshbon and let it be rebuilt;let Sihon’s city be restored.
28‘Fire went out from Heshbon,a blaze from the city of Sihon.It consumed Ar of Moab,the citizens of Arnon’s heights.
29Woe to you, Moab!You are destroyed, people of Chemosh!He has given up his sons as fugitivesand his daughters as captivesto Sihon king of the Amorites.
30‘But we have overthrown them;Heshbon’s dominion has been destroyed all the way to Dibon.We have demolished them as far as Nophah,which extends to Medeba.’
31So Israel settled in the land of the Amorites.
32After Moses had sent spies to Jazer, the Israelites captured its surrounding settlements and drove out the Amorites who were there.
