27-30 The ancient poets had referred to King Sihon in this poem:

Come to Heshbon,

King Sihon’s capital,

For a fire has flamed forth

And devoured

The city of Ar in Moab,

On the heights of the Arnon River.

Woe to Moab!

You are finished,

O people of Chemosh;

And your daughters are captured

By King Sihon of the Amorites.

He has destroyed

The little children

And the men and women

As far as Dibon, Nophah, and Medeba.
