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

NUM 21:22  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 high way, until we be past thy borders.  

NUM 21:23  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.  

NUM 21:24  And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his
land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of
the children of Ammon was strong.  

NUM 21:27  Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the
city of Sihon be built and prepared:  

DEU 2:24  Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold,
I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land:
begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.  

DEU 2:25  This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee
upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee,
and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.  

DEU 2:26  And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon
king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,  

DEU 2:27  Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will
neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.  

DEU 2:28  Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water
for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;  

DEU 2:29  (As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which
dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which
the LORD our God giveth us.  

DEU 2:30  But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD
thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver
him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.  

DEU 2:31  And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his
land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.  

DEU 2:32  Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at
Jahaz.  

DEU 2:33  And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and
his sons, and all his people.  

DEU 2:34  And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the
men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain: 


DEU 2:35  Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of
the cities which we took.  

DEU 3:4  And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we
took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of
Og in Bashan.  

DEU 3:6  And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon,
utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.  

DEU 3:8  And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the
Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto
mount Hermon;
