Deuteronomy 2:26-37
New American Standard Bible
26 “(A)So I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying, 27 ‘Let me pass through your land; I will [a]travel only on the road. I will not turn aside to the right or to the left. 28 You will sell me food for money so that I may eat, and give me water for money so that I may drink, (B)only let me pass through on [b]foot, 29 just as the sons of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in (C)Ar did for me, until I cross over the Jordan into the land that the Lord our God is giving us.’ 30 But (D)Sihon king of Heshbon was not willing for us to pass [c]through his land; for the (E)Lord your God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, in order to hand him over to you, as he is today. 31 And the Lord said to me, ‘See, I have begun to turn Sihon and his land over [d]to you. Begin taking possession, so that you may possess his land.’
32 “Then Sihon came out [e]with all his people to meet us in battle at Jahaz. 33 And (F)the Lord our God turned him over [f]to us, and we [g](G)defeated him with his sons and all his people. 34 So we captured all his cities at that time and [h](H)utterly destroyed [i]the men, women, and children of every city. We left no survivor. 35 We took (I)only the animals as our plunder, and the spoils of the cities which we had captured. 36 From (J)Aroer which is on the edge of the [j]Valley of Arnon and from the city which is in the [k]valley, even to Gilead, there was no city that was too [l]high for us; the Lord our God turned it all over [m]to us. 37 (K)Only you did not go near the land of the sons of Ammon, all along the [n]river (L)Jabbok and the cities of the hill country, and wherever the Lord our God had commanded us to avoid.

Defeat of King Sihon
26 “So I sent messengers from the wilderness of Ked′emoth to Sihon the king of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying, 27 ‘Let me pass through your land; I will go only by the road, I will turn aside 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; only let me pass through on foot, 29 as the sons of Esau who live in Se′ir and the Moabites who live in Ar did for me, until I go over the Jordan into the land which the Lord our God gives to us.’ 30 But Sihon the king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for the Lord your God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that he might give him into your hand, as at this day. 31 And the Lord said to me, ‘Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land over to you; begin to take possession, that you may occupy his land.’ 32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz. 33 And the Lord our God gave him over to us; and we defeated him and his sons and all his people. 34 And we captured all his cities at that time and utterly destroyed every city, men, women, and children; we left none remaining; 35 only the cattle we took as spoil for ourselves, with the booty of the cities which we captured. 36 From Aro′er, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and from the city that is in the valley, as far as Gilead, there was not a city too high for us; the Lord our God gave all into our hands. 37 Only to the land of the sons of Ammon you did not draw near, that is, to all the banks of the river Jabbok and the cities of the hill country, and wherever the Lord our God forbade us.
