Numbers 21:21-23

21st Century King James Version

²¹ And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,

²² “Let me pass through thy land. We will not turn into the fields or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well, but we will go along by the king’s highway until we be past thy borders.”

²³ And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border. But Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness; and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
