Num 21:26-30, Deu 2:19, Judg 11:13-27 | ESV | STEP | 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 .

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 ^aballad singers say,

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

Deuteronomy 2:19

19 And when you approach the territory of the people of Ammon, ^ldo not harass them or contend with them, for I will not give you any of the land of the people of Ammon as a possession, because I have given it to ^mthe sons of Lot for a possession.’

Judges 11:13-27

13 And the king of the Ammonites answered the messengers of Jephthah, ⁿ“Because Israel on coming up from Egypt took away my land, from the ^oArnon to the ^pJabbok and to the Jordan; now therefore restore it peaceably.” 14 Jephthah again sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites 15 and said to him, “Thus says Jephthah: ^qIsrael did not take away the land of Moab or the land of the Ammonites, 16 but when they came up from Egypt, Israel went through the wilderness ^rto the Red Sea and ^scame to Kadesh. 17 ^tIsrael then sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, ‘Please let us pass through your land,’ ^ubut the king of Edom would not listen. And they sent also to the king of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel ^vremained at Kadesh.

18 “Then they journeyed through the wilderness and ^wwent around the land of Edom and the land of Moab and ^xarrived on the east side of the land of Moab and ^ycamped on the other side of the Arnon. But they did not enter the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was the boundary of Moab. 19 ^zIsrael then sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, king of Heshbon, and Israel said to him, ‘Please let us pass through your land to our country,’ 20 but Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory, so Sihon gathered all his people together and encamped at Jahaz and fought with Israel. 21 And the Lord, the God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they defeated them. So Israel took possession of all the land of the Amorites, who inhabited that country. 22 And they took possession of all the territory of the Amorites from the Arnon to the Jabbok and from the wilderness to the Jordan. 23 So then the Lord, the God of Israel, dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel; and are you to take possession of them? 24 Will you not possess what ^aaChemosh your god gives you to possess? ^abAnd all that the Lord our God has dispossessed before us, we will possess. 25 Now are you any better than ^acBalak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever contend against Israel, or did he ever go to war with them? 26 While Israel lived ^adin Heshbon and its villages, and ^aein Aroer and its villages, and in all the cities that are on the banks of the Arnon, 300 years, why did you not deliver them within that time? 27 I therefore have not sinned against you, and you do me wrong by making war on me. ^afThe Lord, the Judge, decide this day between the people of Israel and the people of Ammon.”
