19. And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon, king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land into my place.
20. But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his border; but Sihon gathered all his people together and pitched camp in Jahaz and fought against Israel.
21. But the Lord God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them; so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorite that inhabited that land.
22. And they possessed all the border of the Amorites from Arnon even unto Jabbok and from the wilderness even unto the Jordan.
23. So now the Lord God of Israel has expelled the Amorites from before his people Israel and should thou possess it?
