申2:22The Lord had done the same for the descendants of Esau, who lived in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them. They drove them out and have lived in their place to this day.

申2:23And as for the Avvites who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorites coming out from Caphtor destroyed them and settled in their place.)

申2:24Set out now and cross the Arnon Gorge. See, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his country. Begin to take possession of it and engage him in battle.

申2:25This very day I will begin to put the terror and fear of you on all the nations under heaven. They will hear reports of you and will tremble and be in anguish because of you."

申2:26From the desert of Kedemoth I sent messengers to Sihon king of Heshbon offering peace and saying,

申2:27Let us pass through your country. We will stay on the main road; we will not turn aside to the right or to the left.

申2:28Sell us food to eat and water to drink for their price in silver. Only let us pass through on foot-

申2:29as 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."

申2:30But Sihon king of Heshbon refused to let us pass through. For the Lord your God had made his spirit stubborn and his heart obstinate in order to give him into your hands, as he has now done.

申2:31The 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."

申2:32When Sihon and all his army came out to meet us in battle at Jahaz,

申2:33the Lord our God delivered him over to us and we struck him down, together with his sons and his whole army.

申2:34At that time we took all his towns and completely destroyed them-men, women and children. We left no survivors.

申2:35But the livestock and the plunder from the towns we had captured we carried off for ourselves.

申2:36From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the gorge, even as far as Gilead, not one town was too strong for us. The Lord our God gave us all of them.

申2:37But in accordance with the command of the Lord our God, you did not encroach on any of the land of the Ammonites, neither the land along the course of the Jabbok nor that around the towns in the hills.

申3:1Next we turned and went up along the road toward Bashan, and Og king of Bashan with his whole army marched out to meet us in battle at Edrei.

申3:2The Lord said to me, "Do not be afraid of him, for I have handed him over to you with his whole army and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon."

申3:3So the Lord our God also gave into our hands Og king of Bashan and all his army. We struck them down, leaving no survivors.

申3:4At that time we took all his cities. There was not one of the sixty cities that we did not take from them-the whole region of Argob, Og's kingdom in Bashan.
