21 Then ^aIsrael sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, 22 ^b“Let me pass through your land. We will not turn aside into field or vineyard. We will not drink the water of a well. We will go by the King’s Highway until we have passed through your territory.” 23 ^cBut Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory. He gathered all his people together and went out against Israel to the wilderness and ^dcame to Jahaz and fought against Israel. 24 ^eAnd Israel defeated him with the edge of the sword and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the ^fJabbok, as far as to the Ammonites, for the border of the Ammonites was strong. 25 And Israel took all these cities, and Israel settled in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages. 26 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, as far as the Arnon. 27 Therefore the ^gballad singers say,

“Come to ^hHeshbon, let it be built;
let the city of Sihon be established.
28 For ⁱfire came out from ^jHeshbon,
flame from the city of Sihon.
It devoured ^kAr of Moab,
and swallowed ^{▼▼Septuagint; Hebrew the lords of} the heights of the Arnon.
29 ^mWoe to you, O Moab!
You are undone, O people of ⁿChemosh!
He has made his sons fugitives,
and his daughters captives,
to an Amorite king, Sihon.
30 So we overthrew them;
Heshbon, as far as ^oDibon, perished;
and we laid waste as far as Nophah;
fire spread as far as ^pMedeba.” ^{▼▼Compare Samaritan and Septuagint; Hebrew and we laid waste as far as Nophah, which is as far as Medeba}

King Og Defeated

31 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites. 32 And Moses sent to spy out ^rJazer, and they captured its villages and dispossessed the Amorites who were there. 33 Then they turned and went up by the way to Bashan. And Og the king of Bashan came out against them, he and all his people, to battle ^sat Edrei. 34 ^tBut the Lord said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have given him into your hand, and all his people, and his land. And ^uyou shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.” 35 So they defeated him and his sons and all his people, until he had no survivor left. And they possessed his land.

Deuteronomy 2:26-34

The Defeat of King Sihon

26 “So I sent messengers from the wilderness of ^vKedemoth to Sihon the king of ^wHeshbon, ^xwith words of peace, saying, 27 ^y‘Let me pass through your land. I will go only by the road; I will turn aside neither to the right nor to the left. 28 ^zYou shall sell me food for money, that I may eat, and give me water for money, that I may drink. Only let me pass through on foot, 29 ^aaas the sons of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in Ar did for me, until I go over the Jordan into the land that the Lord our God is giving to us.’ 30 But ^abSihon the king of ^acHeshbon would not let us pass by him, for the Lord your God ^adhardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that he might give him into your hand, as he is this day. 31 And the Lord said to me, ‘Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land over to you. Begin to take possession, that you may occupy his land.’ 32 Then ^aeSihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz. 33 And ^afthe Lord our God gave him over to us, and ^agwe defeated him and his sons and all his people. 34 And we captured all his cities at that time and devoted to destruction ^{▼▼That is, set apart ( devoted) as an offering to the Lord (for destruction)} every ^aicity, men, women, and children. We left no survivors.

Deuteronomy 3:1-17

The Defeat of King Og

1 “Then we turned and went up the way to Bashan. And ^ajOg the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at ^akEdrei. 2 But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I have given him and all his people and his land into your hand. And you shall do to him as you did to ^alSihon the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.’ 3 So the Lord our God gave into our hand Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people, ^amand we struck him down until he had no survivor left. 4 And we took all his cities at that time—there was not a city that we did not take from them—sixty cities, ^anthe whole region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5 All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides very many unwalled villages. 6 And ^aowe devoted them to destruction, ^{▼▼That is, set apart ( devoted) as an offering to the Lord (for destruction); twice in this verse} as we did to Sihon the king of Heshbon, devoting to destruction every ^aqcity, men, women, and children. 7 But all the livestock and the spoil of the cities we took as our plunder. 8 So we took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the Valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon 9 (the Sidonians call ^arHermon ^asSirion, while the Amorites call it ^atSenir), 10 all the cities of the ^autableland and all Gilead and all Bashan, as far as ^avSalecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 11 (For ^awonly Og the king of Bashan was left of the remnant of ^axthe Rephaim. Behold, his bed was a bed of iron. Is it not in ^ayRabbah of the Ammonites? Nine cubits ^{▼▼A cubit was about 18 inches or 45 centimeters} was its length, and four cubits its breadth, according to the ^bacommon cubit. ^{▼▼Hebrew cubit of a man})

12 “When we took possession of this land at that time, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites the territory beginning ^bcat Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and half the hill country of Gilead with ^bdits cities. 13 ^beThe rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, that is, ^bfall the region of Argob, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (All that portion of Bashan is called the land of ^bgRephaim. 14 ^bhJair the Manassite took all the region of Argob, that is, Bashan, as far as the border of ^bithe Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called the villages ^bjafter his own name, Havvoth-jair, as it is to this day.) 15 To Machir ^bkI gave Gilead, 16 and to the Reubenites ^bland the Gadites I gave the territory from Gilead as far as the Valley of the Arnon, with the middle of the valley as a border, as far over as the river Jabbok, ^bmthe border of the Ammonites; 17 the Arabah also, with the Jordan as the border, from ^bnChinnereth as far as ^bothe Sea of the Arabah, ^bpthe Salt Sea, under ^bqthe slopes of Pisgah on the east.

Joshua 13:8-12

The Inheritance East of the Jordan

8 With the other half of the tribe of Manasseh ^{▼▼Hebrew With it} the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, ^bswhich Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the Lord gave them: 9 ^btfrom Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and ^buall the tableland of Medeba as far as Dibon; 10 ^bvand all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the boundary of the Ammonites; 11 and Gilead, and the ^bwregion of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and ^bxall Bashan to Salecah; 12 ^byall the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (he alone was left of ^bzthe remnant of the Rephaim); ^cathese Moses had struck and driven out.
