19. and come near over against the children of Ammon; thou shalt not distress them nor attack them; for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon a possession; for unto the children of Lot have I given it as a possession.
20. (That also is reckoned a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in time past, and the Ammonites call them Zamzummim;
21. a people great, and many, and tall as the Anakim; and Jehovah destroyed them before them, and they dispossessed them, and dwelt in their stead;
22. as he did to the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, from before whom he destroyed the Horites; and they dispossessed them, and dwelt in their stead, even to this day.
23. And the Avvites who dwelt in the hamlets as far as Gazah--the Caphtorim, who came out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
24. Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon. Behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the king of Heshbon, the Amorite, and his land: begin, take possession, and engage with him in battle.
25. This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the peoples under the whole heaven; who will hear report of thee, and will tremble, and quake because of thee.
26. And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon the king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
27. Let me pass through thy land: by the highway alone will I go; I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the left.
28. Thou shalt sell me food for money that I may eat; and thou shalt give me water for money that I may drink; I will only pass through on my feet,
29. --as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me, --until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which Jehovah our God giveth us.
30. But Sihon the king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for Jehovah thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obdurate, that he might give him into thy hand, as it is this day.
31. And Jehovah said to me, Behold, I begin to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin, take possession, that thou mayest possess his land.
32. And Sihon came out against us for battle, he and all his people, to Jahaz.
33. But Jehovah our God gave him up before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and his whole people.
