‏ Deuteronomy 2:26-37

26aSo I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying, 27‘Let me pass through your land; I will
Lit go on the road, on the road
travel only on the road. I will not turn aside to the right or to the left.
28You will sell me food for money so that I may eat, and give me water for money so that I may drink, conly let me pass through on
Lit my feet
foot,
29just as the sons of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in eAr did for me, until I cross over the Jordan into the land that the Lord our God is giving us.’ 30But fSihon king of Heshbon was not willing for us to pass
Lit by him
through his land; for the hLord your God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, in order to hand him over to you, as he is today.
31And the Lord said to me, ‘See, I have begun to turn Sihon and his land over
Lit before you
to you. Begin taking possession, so that you may possess his land.’

32 “Then Sihon came out
Lit he and
with all his people to meet us in battle at Jahaz.
33And kthe Lord our God turned him over
Lit before us
to us, and we
Lit struck
ndefeated him with his sons and all his people.
34So we captured all his cities at that time and
Or put under the ban
putterly destroyed
Lit every city of men...
the men, women, and children of every city. We left no survivor.
35We took ronly the animals as our plunder, and the spoils of the cities which we had captured. 36From sAroer which is on the edge of the
Or wadi
Valley of Arnon and from the city which is in the
Or wadi
valley, even to Gilead, there was no city that was too
Or strong
high for us; the Lord our God turned it all over
Lit before us
to us.
37 xOnly you did not go near the land of the sons of Ammon, all along the
Or wadi
river zJabbok and the cities of the hill country, and wherever the Lord our God had commanded us to avoid.
