to the top of Pisgah, which looks down on the desert. 021:021 Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, 021:022 Let me pass through your land: we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king's highway, until we have passed your border. 021:023 Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz; and he fought against Israel. 021:024 Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was strong. 021:025 Israel took all these cities: and Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the towns of it. 021:026 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even to the Arnon. 021:027 Therefore those who speak in proverbs say, "Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be built and established; 021:028 for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has devoured Ar of Moab, The lords of the high places of the Arnon. 021:029 Woe to you, Moab! You are undone, people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to Sihon king of the Amorites. 021:030 We have shot at them. Heshbon has perished even to Dibon. We have laid waste even to Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba." 021:031 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites. 021:032 Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took the towns of it, and drove out the Amorites who were there. 021:033 They turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei. 021:034 Yahweh said to Moses, Don't fear him: for I have delivered him into your hand, and all his people, and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon. 021:035 So they struck him, and his sons and all his people, until there was none left him remaining: and they possessed his land. 022:001 The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho. 022:002 Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. 022:003 Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel. 022:004 Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now will this multitude lick up all that is round about us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field. Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.
