²⁵ Now are you any better than ^(A)Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever contend against Israel, or did he ever go to war with them? ²⁶ While Israel lived ^(B)in Heshbon and its villages, and ^(C)in Aroer and its villages, and in all the cities that are on the banks of the Arnon, 300 years, why did you not deliver them within that time? ²⁷ I therefore have not sinned against you, and you do me wrong by making war on me. ^(D)The Lord, the Judge, decide this day between the people of Israel and the people of Ammon.”
