Nehemiah 9:22-24

International Children’s Bible

²² “You gave them kingdoms and nations.
    You gave them more land.
They took over the country of Sihon king of Heshbon.
    And they took over the country of Og king of Bashan.
²³ You made their children as many as the stars in the sky.
    And you brought them into the land.
    This was where you had told their ancestors to enter and take over.
²⁴ So their children went into the land and took over.
    The Canaanites lived there.
But you defeated them for our ancestors.
    You handed over to them the Canaanites, their kings and the people of the land.
    Our ancestors could do what they wanted with them.
