‏ Numbers 21:26-30

v. 26-30: The land Israel took from Sihon had once belonged to Moab, but the Amorites had already conquered it from the Moabites. This meant Israel did not take it directly from Moab, so their claim was fair. The passage even quotes an old song from the Amorites, showing that these places once belonged to Moab but were lost to Sihon. The Moabites’ god, Chemosh, could not save them, but Israel’s God gave victory to His people (Numbers 21:26-30 a).
