Deuteronomy 2:26-37
New King James Version
King Sihon Defeated(A)
26 “And I (B)sent messengers from the Wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon, (C)with words of peace, saying, 27 (D)‘Let me pass through your land; I will keep strictly to the road, and I will turn 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; (E)only let me pass through on foot, 29 (F)just as the descendants of Esau who dwell in Seir and the Moabites who dwell in Ar did for me, until I cross the Jordan to the land which the Lord our God is giving us.’
30 (G)“But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass through, for (H)the Lord your God (I)hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that He might deliver him into your hand, as it is this day.
31 “And the Lord said to me, ‘See, I have begun to (J)give Sihon and his land over to you. Begin to possess it, that you may inherit his land.’ 32 (K)Then Sihon and all his people came out against us to fight at Jahaz. 33 And (L)the Lord our God delivered him [a]over to us; so (M)we defeated him, his sons, and all his people. 34 We took all his cities at that time, and we (N)utterly destroyed the men, women, and little ones of every city; we left none remaining. 35 We took only the livestock as plunder for ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we took. 36 (O)From Aroer, which is on the bank of the River Arnon, and from (P)the city that is in the ravine, as far as Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us; (Q)the Lord our God delivered all to us. 37 Only you did not go near the land of the people of Ammon—anywhere along the River (R)Jabbok, or to the cities of the mountains, or (S)wherever the Lord our God had forbidden us.

Deuteronomy 2:26-37
21st Century King James Version
26 “And I sent messengers out of the Wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
27 ‘Let me pass through thy land. I will go along by the high way; I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.
28 Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat, and give me water for money, that I may drink. I will pass through only on my feet,
29 as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir and the Moabites who dwell in Ar did unto me, until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which the Lord our God giveth us.’
30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him, for the Lord thy God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that He might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.
31 And the Lord said unto me, ‘Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land over to thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.’
32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
33 And the Lord our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons and all his people.
34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men and the women and the little ones of every city; we left none to remain.
35 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
36 From Aroer, which is by the brink of the River of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us; the Lord our God delivered all unto us.
37 Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the River Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the Lord our God forbade us.
