Defeat of Sihon and Og

²¹ Israel sent messengers^(A) to say to Sihon^(B) king of the Amorites:^(C)

²³ But Sihon would not let Israel pass through his territory.^(E) He mustered his entire army and marched out into the wilderness against Israel. When he reached Jahaz,^(F) he fought with Israel.^{(G) 24} Israel, however, put him to the sword^(H) and took over his land^(I) from the Arnon to the Jabbok,^(J) but only as far as the Ammonites,^(K) because their border was fortified. ²⁵ Israel captured all the cities of the Amorites^(L) and occupied them,^(M) including Heshbon^(N) and all its surrounding settlements. ²⁶ Heshbon was the city of Sihon^(O) king of the Amorites,^(P) who had fought against the former king of Moab^(Q) and had taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon.^(R)

²⁷ That is why the poets say:

³¹ So Israel settled in the land of the Amorites.^(AC)

³² After Moses had sent spies^(AD) to Jazer,^(AE) the Israelites captured its surrounding settlements and drove out the Amorites who were there. ³³ Then they turned and went up along the road toward Bashan^(AF),^(AG) and Og king of Bashan and his whole army marched out to meet them in battle at Edrei.^(AH)

⁴ This was after he had defeated Sihon^(A) king of the Amorites,^(B) who reigned in Heshbon,^(C) and at Edrei had defeated Og^(D) king of Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth.^(E)

² The Lord said to me, “Do not be afraid^(A) of him, for I have delivered him into your hands, along with his whole army and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon.”

⁶ We completely destroyed^[a] them, as we had done with Sihon king of Heshbon, destroying^[b](A) every city—men, women and children.

⁴⁶ and were in the valley near Beth Peor east of the Jordan, in the land of Sihon^(A) king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon and was defeated by Moses and the Israelites as they came out of Egypt.
