Two Victories
21 (A)Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying, 22 “(B)Let me pass through your land. We will not turn off into field or vineyard; we will not drink water from wells. We will go by the king’s road until we have passed through your border.” 23 (C)But Sihon would not permit Israel to pass through his border. Instead, Sihon gathered all his people and went out against Israel in the wilderness, and came to (D)Jahaz and fought against Israel. 24 Then (E)Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the sons of Ammon; for the (F)border of the sons of Ammon was [a]Jazer.

Defeat of Sihon and Og
21 Israel sent messengers(A) to say to Sihon(B) king of the Amorites:(C)
22 “Let us pass through your country. We will not turn aside into any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will travel along the King’s Highway until we have passed through your territory.(D)”
23 But Sihon would not let Israel pass through his territory.(E) He mustered his entire army and marched out into the wilderness against Israel. When he reached Jahaz,(F) he fought with Israel.(G) 24 Israel, however, put him to the sword(H) and took over his land(I) from the Arnon to the Jabbok,(J) but only as far as the Ammonites,(K) because their border was fortified.

New American Standard Bible
26 “(A)So I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying, 27 ‘Let me pass through your land; I will [a]travel only on the road. I will not turn aside to the right or to the left. 28 You will sell me food for money so that I may eat, and give me water for money so that I may drink, (B)only let me pass through on [b]foot, 29 just as the sons of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in (C)Ar did for me, until I cross over the Jordan into the land that the Lord our God is giving us.’ 30 But (D)Sihon king of Heshbon was not willing for us to pass [c]through his land; for the (E)Lord your God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, in order to hand him over to you, as he is today. 31 And the Lord said to me, ‘See, I have begun to turn Sihon and his land over [d]to you. Begin taking possession, so that you may possess his land.’
32 “Then Sihon came out [e]with all his people to meet us in battle at Jahaz. 33 And (F)the Lord our God turned him over [f]to us, and we [g](G)defeated him with his sons and all his people. 34 So we captured all his cities at that time and [h](H)utterly destroyed [i]the men, women, and children of every city. We left no survivor. 35 We took (I)only the animals as our plunder, and the spoils of the cities which we had captured. 36 From (J)Aroer which is on the edge of the [j]Valley of Arnon and from the city which is in the [k]valley, even to Gilead, there was no city that was too [l]high for us; the Lord our God turned it all over [m]to us. 37 (K)Only you did not go near the land of the sons of Ammon, all along the [n]river (L)Jabbok and the cities of the hill country, and wherever the Lord our God had commanded us to avoid.
Conquests Recounted
3 “(M)Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan, and Og, king of Bashan, came out [o]with all his people to meet us in battle at Edrei. 2 But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I have handed him and all his people and his land over to you; and you shall do to him just as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.’ 3 So the Lord our God also handed over to us Og, king of Bashan, with all his people, and we struck [p]them until no survivor was [q]left. 4 We captured all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we did not take from them: sixty cities, all the region of (N)Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5 All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides a great many [r]unwalled towns. 6 We [s]utterly destroyed them, as we did to (O)Sihon king of Heshbon, [t](P)utterly destroying [u]the men, women, and children of every city. 7 (Q)But all the animals and the spoils of the cities we took as our plunder.
8 “(R)So at that time we took the land from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the [v]Valley of Arnon to Mount Hermon 9 (Sidonians (S)call Hermon (T)Sirion, and the Amorites call it (U)Senir): 10 all the cities of the plateau, all Gilead, and (V)all Bashan, as far as Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 11 (For only Og king of Bashan was left of the remnant of the (W)Rephaim. Behold, his [w]bed was a [x]bed of iron; it is in (X)Rabbah of the sons of Ammon. Its length was nine cubits, and its width four cubits by [y]the usual cubit.)
12 “So we took possession of this land at that time. From (Y)Aroer, which is by the [z]Valley of Arnon, and half the hill country of (Z)Gilead and its cities I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites. 13 The rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh, all the region of Argob. (As to all Bashan, it is called the land of Rephaim. 14 (AA)Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, that is, Bashan, and named [aa]it after his own name: [ab]Havvoth-jair, as it is to this day.) 15 (AB)To Machir I gave Gilead. 16 To the Reubenites and the Gadites I gave from Gilead even as far as the [ac]Valley of Arnon, the middle of the [ad]valley [ae]as a border, and as far as the [af]river (AC)Jabbok, the border of the sons of Ammon; 17 the Arabah also, with the Jordan [ag]as a border, from [ah](AD)Chinnereth (AE)even as far as the sea of the Arabah, (AF)the Salt Sea, [ai]at the foot of the slopes of Pisgah on the east.

Deuteronomy 2:26-3:17
New International Version
26 From the Desert of Kedemoth(A) I sent messengers to Sihon(B) king of Heshbon offering peace(C) and saying, 27 “Let us pass through your country. We will stay on the main road; we will not turn aside to the right or to the left.(D) 28 Sell us food to eat(E) and water to drink for their price in silver. Only let us pass through on foot(F)— 29 as the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir, and the Moabites, who live in Ar, did for us—until we cross the Jordan into the land the Lord our God is giving us.” 30 But Sihon king of Heshbon refused to let us pass through. For the Lord(G) your God had made his spirit stubborn(H) and his heart obstinate(I) in order to give him into your hands,(J) as he has now done.
31 The Lord said to me, “See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his country over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land.”(K)
32 When Sihon and all his army came out to meet us in battle(L) at Jahaz, 33 the Lord our God delivered(M) him over to us and we struck him down,(N) together with his sons and his whole army. 34 At that time we took all his towns and completely destroyed[a](O) them—men, women and children. We left no survivors. 35 But the livestock(P) and the plunder(Q) from the towns we had captured we carried off for ourselves. 36 From Aroer(R) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the gorge, even as far as Gilead,(S) not one town was too strong for us. The Lord our God gave(T) us all of them. 37 But in accordance with the command of the Lord our God,(U) you did not encroach on any of the land of the Ammonites,(V) neither the land along the course of the Jabbok(W) nor that around the towns in the hills.
Defeat of Og King of Bashan
3 Next we turned and went up along the road toward Bashan, and Og king of Bashan(X) with his whole army marched out to meet us in battle at Edrei.(Y) 2 The Lord said to me, “Do not be afraid(Z) of him, for I have delivered him into your hands, along with his whole army and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon.”
3 So the Lord our God also gave into our hands Og king of Bashan and all his army. We struck them down,(AA) leaving no survivors.(AB) 4 At that time we took all his cities.(AC) There was not one of the sixty cities that we did not take from them—the whole region of Argob, Og’s kingdom(AD) in Bashan.(AE) 5 All these cities were fortified with high walls and with gates and bars, and there were also a great many unwalled villages. 6 We completely destroyed[b] them, as we had done with Sihon king of Heshbon, destroying[c](AF) every city—men, women and children. 7 But all the livestock(AG) and the plunder from their cities we carried off for ourselves.
8 So at that time we took from these two kings of the Amorites(AH) the territory east of the Jordan, from the Arnon Gorge as far as Mount Hermon.(AI) 9 (Hermon is called Sirion(AJ) by the Sidonians; the Amorites call it Senir.)(AK) 10 We took all the towns on the plateau, and all Gilead, and all Bashan as far as Salekah(AL) and Edrei, towns of Og’s kingdom in Bashan. 11 (Og king of Bashan was the last of the Rephaites.(AM) His bed was decorated with iron and was more than nine cubits long and four cubits wide.[d] It is still in Rabbah(AN) of the Ammonites.)
Division of the Land
12 Of the land that we took over at that time, I gave the Reubenites and the Gadites the territory north of Aroer(AO) by the Arnon Gorge, including half the hill country of Gilead, together with its towns. 13 The rest of Gilead and also all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh.(AP) (The whole region of Argob in Bashan used to be known as a land of the Rephaites.(AQ) 14 Jair,(AR) a descendant of Manasseh, took the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maakathites;(AS) it was named(AT) after him, so that to this day Bashan is called Havvoth Jair.[e]) 15 And I gave Gilead to Makir.(AU) 16 But to the Reubenites and the Gadites I gave the territory extending from Gilead down to the Arnon Gorge (the middle of the gorge being the border) and out to the Jabbok River,(AV) which is the border of the Ammonites. 17 Its western border was the Jordan in the Arabah,(AW) from Kinnereth(AX) to the Sea of the Arabah(AY) (that is, the Dead Sea(AZ)), below the slopes of Pisgah.
