Deuteronomy 2:26-37
Legacy Standard Bible

26 “(A)So 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 [a]go only on the highway; I will not turn aside to the right or to the left. 28 You will sell me food for money so that I may eat, and give me water for money so that I may drink; (B)only let me pass through on [b]foot, 29 just as the sons of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in (C)Ar did for me, until I cross over the Jordan into the land which Yahweh our God is giving to us.’ 30 But (D)Sihon king of Heshbon was not willing for us to pass [c]through his land, for (E)Yahweh your God stiffened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, in order to give him over into your hand, as he is today. 31 And Yahweh said to me, ‘See, I have begun to give Sihon and his land [d]over to you. Begin to possess, so that you may fully possess his land.’

32 “Then Sihon [e]with all his people came out to meet us in battle at Jahaz. 33 (F)But Yahweh our God gave him [f]over to us, and we (G)struck him down with his sons and all his people. 34 So we captured all his cities at that time and [g](H)devoted to destruction [h]the men, women, and little ones of every city. We left no survivor remaining. 35 We took (I)only the animals as our plunder and the spoil of the cities which we had captured. 36 From (J)Aroer which is on the edge of the [i]valley of Arnon and from the city which is in the [j]valley, even to Gilead, there was not a town that was too high for us; Yahweh our God gave all [k]over to us. 37 (K)Only you did not go near to the land of the sons of Ammon, all along the [l]river (L)Jabbok and the cities of the hill country, and wherever Yahweh our God had commanded us.

Defeat of King Sihon

26 “So I sent messengers from the wilderness of Ked′emoth to Sihon the king of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying, 27 ‘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 You 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 as the sons of Esau who live in Se′ir and the Moabites who live in Ar did for me, until I go over the Jordan into the land which the Lord our God gives to us.’ 30 But Sihon the king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for the Lord your God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that he might give him into your hand, as at 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 Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz. 33 And the Lord our God gave him over to us; and we defeated him and his sons and all his people. 34 And we captured all his cities at that time and utterly destroyed every city, men, women, and children; we left none remaining; 35 only the cattle we took as spoil for ourselves, with the booty of the cities which we captured. 36 From Aro′er, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and from the city that is in the valley, as far as Gilead, there was not a city too high for us; the Lord our God gave all into our hands. 37 Only to the land of the sons of Ammon you did not draw near, that is, to all the banks of the river Jabbok and the cities of the hill country, and wherever the Lord our God forbade us.
