Joshua 12
Contemporary English Version
The Kings Defeated by the Israelites
12 (A) Before Moses died, he and the people of Israel had defeated two kings east of the Jordan River. These kings had ruled the region from the Arnon River gorge in the south to Mount Hermon in the north, including the eastern side of the Jordan River valley.
2 The first king that Moses and the Israelites defeated was an Amorite, King Sihon of Heshbon.[a] The southern border of his kingdom ran down the middle of the Arnon River gorge, taking in the town of Aroer on the northern edge of the gorge. The Jabbok River separated Sihon's kingdom from the Ammonites on the east. Then the Jabbok turned west and became his northern border, so his kingdom included the southern half of the region of Gilead. 3 Sihon also controlled the eastern side of the Jordan River valley from Lake Galilee[b] south to Beth-Jeshimoth and the Dead Sea. In addition to these regions, he ruled the town called Slopes of Mount Pisgah[c] and the land south of there at the foot of the hill.
4 Next, Moses and the Israelites defeated King Og of Bashan,[d] who lived in the town of Ashtaroth part of each year and in Edrei the rest of the year. Og was one of the last of the Rephaim.[e] 5 His kingdom stretched north to Mount Hermon, east to the town of Salecah, and included the land of Bashan as far west as the borders of the kingdoms of Geshur and Maacah. He also ruled the northern half of Gilead.
6 (B) Moses, the Lord's servant, had led the people of Israel in defeating Sihon and Og. Then Moses gave their land to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh.
7-8 Later, Joshua and the Israelites defeated many kings west of the Jordan River, from Baal-Gad in Lebanon Valley in the north to Mount Halak near the country of Edom in the south. This region included the hill country and the foothills, the Jordan River valley and its western slopes, and the Southern Desert. Joshua and the Israelites took this land from the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. Joshua divided up the land among the tribes of Israel.
The Israelites defeated the kings of the following towns west of the Jordan River:
9-24 Jericho, Ai near Bethel, Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, Eglon, Gezer, Debir, Geder, Hormah, Arad, Libnah, Adullam, Makkedah, Bethel, Tappuah, Hepher, Aphek, Lasharon,[f] Madon, Hazor, Shimron-Meron, Achshaph, Taanach, Megiddo, Kedesh, Jokneam on Mount Carmel, Dor in Naphath-Dor, Goiim in Galilee,[g] and Tirzah.[h]
There were 31 of these kings in all.

King James Version
12 Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:
2 Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and from the middle of the river, and from half Gilead, even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;
3 And from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea on the east, the way to Bethjeshimoth; and from the south, under Ashdothpisgah:
4 And the coast of Og king of Bashan, which was of the remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
5 And reigned in mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan, unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.
6 Them did Moses the servant of the Lord and the children of Israel smite: and Moses the servant of the Lord gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.
7 And these are the kings of the country which Joshua and the children of Israel smote on this side Jordan on the west, from Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon even unto the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir; which Joshua gave unto the tribes of Israel for a possession according to their divisions;
8 In the mountains, and in the valleys, and in the plains, and in the springs, and in the wilderness, and in the south country; the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites:

Ang mga Hari na Natalo sa Silangan ng Jordan
12 1-2 Sinakop na ng mga Israelita ang mga lupain sa silangan ng Ilog Jordan, mula sa Lambak ng Arnon hanggang sa Bundok ng Hermon, kasama na rito ang lupain sa silangan ng Lambak ng Jordan.[a] Ito ang mga hari sa mga lugar na natalo ng mga Israelita:
Si Sihon na Amoreo na nakatira sa Heshbon. Sakop ng kaharian niya ang kalahati ng Gilead. Ito ay mula sa Aroer sa tabi ng Lambak ng Arnon, at mula sa gitna nito hanggang sa Lambak ng Jabok, na siyang hangganan ng lupain ng mga Ammonita. 3 Sakop din niya ang silangan ng Lambak ng Jordan, mula sa Lawa ng Galilea hanggang sa Bet Jeshimot, sa silangan ng Dagat na Patay[b] at hanggang sa timog sa ibaba ng libis ng Pisga.
4 Ang ikalawa ay si Haring Og ng Bashan. Isa siya sa mga naiwan na Refaimeo. Nakatira siya sa Ashtarot at sa Edrei. 5 Ang sakop ng kaharian niya ay ang Bundok ng Hermon, Saleca, ang buong Bashan hanggang sa hangganan ng Geshur at Maaca, at ang kalahati ng Gilead, hanggang sa hangganan ng Heshbon, na ang hari ay si Sihon. 6 Tinalo sila ni Moises, na lingkod ng Panginoon, at ng mga Israelita. Ibinigay ni Moises ang lupain ng mga ito sa lahi ni Reuben, Gad at sa kalahating lahi ni Manase bilang mana nila.
