²⁵ And now, are you any better than ^(A)Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever strive against Israel? Did he ever fight against them? ²⁶ While Israel dwelt in ^(B)Heshbon and its villages, in ^(C)Aroer and its villages, and in all the cities along the banks of the Arnon, for three hundred years, why did you not recover them within that time? ²⁷ Therefore I have not sinned against you, but you wronged me by fighting against me. May the Lord, ^(D)the Judge, ^(E)render judgment this day between the children of Israel and the people of Ammon.’ ”
