and (A)the vine of Sibmah;
the lords of the nations
have struck down its branches,
which reached to Jazer
and strayed to the desert;

O Heshbon and Elealeh;
for over (D)your summer fruit and your harvest
the shout has ceased.

they raise a cry of destruction;

Esther 3:8-14
English Standard Version
8 Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom. (A)Their laws are different from those of every other people, and they do not keep the king's laws, so that it is not to the king's profit to tolerate them. 9 If it please the king, let it be decreed that they be destroyed, and I will pay 10,000 talents[a] of silver into the hands of those who have charge of the king's business, that they may put it into the king's treasuries.” 10 (B)So the king took his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman (C)the Agagite, the son of Hammedatha, (D)the enemy of the Jews. 11 And the king said to Haman, “The money is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you.”
12 (E)Then the king's scribes were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and an edict, according to all that Haman commanded, was written to the king's (F)satraps and to the governors over all the provinces and to the officials of all the peoples, (G)to every province in its own script and every people in its own language. It was written (H)in the name of King Ahasuerus (I)and sealed with the king's signet ring. 13 Letters were sent (J)by couriers to all the king's provinces with instruction (K)to destroy, to kill, and to annihilate all Jews, young and old, women and children, (L)in one day, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, (M)and to plunder their goods. 14 (N)A copy of the document was to be issued as a decree in every province by proclamation to all the peoples to be ready for that day.

English Standard Version
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 (A)ballad singers say,
“Come to (B)Heshbon, let it be built;
let the city of Sihon be established.
28 For (C)fire came out from (D)Heshbon,
flame from the city of Sihon.
It devoured (E)Ar of Moab,
and swallowed[a] the heights of the Arnon.
29 (F)Woe to you, O Moab!
You are undone, O people of (G)Chemosh!
He has made his sons fugitives,
and his daughters captives,
to an Amorite king, Sihon.
30 So we overthrew them;
Heshbon, as far as (H)Dibon, perished;
and we laid waste as far as Nophah;
fire spread as far as (I)Medeba.”[b]
