Defeat of Sihon and Og

²¹ Israel sent messengers^(A) to say to Sihon^(B) king of the Amorites:^(C)

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. ²⁵ Israel captured all the cities of the Amorites^(L) and occupied them,^(M) including Heshbon^(N) and all its surrounding settlements.

⁸ “‘I brought you to the land of the Amorites^(A) who lived east of the Jordan. They fought against you, but I gave them into your hands. I destroyed them from before you, and you took possession of their land.^{(B) 9} When Balak son of Zippor,^(C) the king of Moab, prepared to fight against Israel, he sent for Balaam son of Beor^(D) to put a curse on you.^{(E) 10} But I would not listen to Balaam, so he blessed you^(F) again and again, and I delivered you out of his hand.

¹¹ “‘Then you crossed the Jordan^(G) and came to Jericho.^(H) The citizens of Jericho fought against you, as did also the Amorites, Perizzites,^(I) Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites and Jebusites,^(J) but I gave them into your hands.^(K)
