Numbers 21:21-23

International Children’s Bible

Sihon and Og

²¹ The people of Israel sent messengers to Sihon, king of the Amorites. They said to him, ²² “Let us pass through your country. We will not go through any fields of grain or vineyards. We will not drink water from the wells. We will travel only along the king’s road. We will stay on it until we have passed through your country.”

²³ But King Sihon would not let the Israelites pass through his country. He gathered his army together. They marched out to meet Israel in the desert. At Jahaz they fought the Israelites.
