22 “Moreover You gave them kingdoms and nations,
And divided them into [a]districts.
So they took possession of the land of (A)Sihon,
[b]The land of the king of Heshbon,
And the land of Og king of Bashan.
23 You also multiplied (B)their children as the stars of heaven,
And brought them into the land
Which You had told their fathers
To go in and possess.
24 So (C)the [c]people went in
And possessed the land;
(D)You subdued before them the inhabitants of the land,
The Canaanites,
And gave them into their hands,
With their kings
And the people of the land,
That they might do with them as they wished.
