05:002:025 This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear
of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall
hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of
thee.
05:002:026 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto
Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
05:002:027 Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high
way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.
05:002:028 Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give
me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my
feet;
05:002:029 (As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the
Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over
Jordan into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.
05:002:030 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for
the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate,
that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.
05:002:031 And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give
Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest
inherit his land.
05:002:032 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to
fight at Jahaz.
05:002:033 And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote
him, and his sons, and all his people.
05:002:034 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly
destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city,
we left none to remain:
05:002:035 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the
spoil of the cities which we took.
05:002:036 From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and
from the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one
city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all unto us:
05:002:037 Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not,
nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the
mountains, nor unto whatsoever the LORD our God forbad us.
05:003:001 Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the
king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at
Edrei.
05:003:002 And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver
him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do
unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at
Heshbon.
05:003:003 So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the
king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was
left to him remaining.
05:003:004 And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a
city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of
Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
05:003:005 All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and
bars; beside unwalled towns a great many.
05:003:006 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of
Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every
city.
