Judges 11:25-27
1599 Geneva Bible
25 (A)And art thou now far better than Balak the son of Zippor king of Moab? did he not strive with Israel and fight against them,
26 When Israel dwelt in Heshbon and in her towns, and in Aroer and in her towns, and in all the cities that are by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? why did ye not then recover [a]them in that space?
27 Wherefore I have not offended thee: but thou doest me wrong to war against me. The Lord the Judge [b]be judge this day between the children of Israel, and the children of Ammon.

Judges 11:25-27
New International Version
25 Are you any better than Balak son of Zippor,(A) king of Moab? Did he ever quarrel with Israel or fight with them?(B) 26 For three hundred years Israel occupied(C) Heshbon, Aroer,(D) the surrounding settlements and all the towns along the Arnon. Why didn’t you retake them during that time? 27 I have not wronged you, but you are doing me wrong by waging war against me. Let the Lord, the Judge,(E) decide(F) the dispute this day between the Israelites and the Ammonites.(G)”
