Deuteronomy 2:26-33

New International Version

²⁶ From the Desert of Kedemoth^(A) I sent messengers to Sihon^(B) king of Heshbon offering peace^(C) and saying, ²⁷ “Let us pass through your country. We will stay on the main road; we will not turn aside to the right or to the left.^{(D) 28} Sell us food to eat^(E) and water to drink for their price in silver. Only let us pass through on foot^(F)— ²⁹ as the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir, and the Moabites, who live in Ar, did for us—until we cross the Jordan into the land the Lord our God is giving us.” ³⁰ But Sihon king of Heshbon refused to let us pass through. For the Lord^(G) your God had made his spirit stubborn^(H) and his heart obstinate^(I) in order to give him into your hands,^(J) as he has now done.

³¹ The Lord said to me, “See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his country over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land.”^(K)

³² When Sihon and all his army came out to meet us in battle^(L) at Jahaz, ³³ the Lord our God delivered^(M) him over to us and we struck him down,^(N) together with his sons and his whole army.
