  • Num 21:21-35 : 21 Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, 22 'Let us pass through your land. We will not turn aside into any field or vineyard, nor drink water from any well. We will travel along the King’s Highway until we pass through your territory.' 23 But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory. He gathered all his people and went out to confront Israel in the wilderness; he came to Jahaz and fought with Israel. 24 Israel defeated him with the sword and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the Ammonites, for the border of the Ammonites was fortified. 25 Israel captured all the cities of the Amorites and settled in them, including Heshbon and all its villages. 26 Heshbon was the city of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and captured all his land up to the Arnon. 27 That is why the poets said: 'Come to Heshbon, let it be rebuilt, let Sihon’s city be restored.' 28 For fire went out from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It consumed Ar of Moab, the rulers of the high places of the Arnon. 29 Woe to you, Moab! You have been destroyed, O people of Chemosh! He has given up his sons as fugitives and his daughters as captives to Sihon, king of the Amorites. 30 But we overthrew them; Heshbon as far as Dibon is destroyed. We devastated Nophah, which reaches to Medeba. 31 So Israel lived in the land of the Amorites. 32 Moses sent men to spy out Jazer, and they captured its surrounding settlements, driving out the Amorites who were there. 33 They turned and went up by the way to Bashan. Og, king of Bashan, came out with all his people to meet them in battle at Edrei. 34 But the LORD said to Moses, 'Do not be afraid of him, for I have given him into your hand, along with all his people and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.' 35 So they struck down Og, his sons, and all his people, leaving no survivors. Then they took possession of his land.
  • Deut 2:32-3:7 : 32 So Sihon came out with all his people to meet us in battle at Jahaz. 33 And the LORD our God delivered him over to us, and we struck him down along with his sons and his whole army. 34 At that time we captured all his cities and completely destroyed every city, including the men, women, and children; we left no survivors. 35 Only the livestock and the plunder from the cities we took as spoil for ourselves. 36 From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, and from the city in the valley, even to Gilead, not one city was too strong for us. The LORD our God gave them all into our hands. 37 But as for the land of the Ammonites, you did not go near it, nor to the banks of the Jabbok River, nor to the cities of the hill country, nor to anything else the LORD our God had instructed us not to touch. 1 Then we turned and traveled on the road to Bashan. Og, king of Bashan, came out with all his people to confront us in battle at Edrei. 2 The LORD said to me: 'Do not be afraid of him, for I have handed him over to you along with all his people and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.' 3 So the LORD our God also gave us Og, king of Bashan, and all his people. We struck them down until no survivors remained. 4 We captured all his cities at that time—there was not a city we did not take from them—sixty cities in all, the entire region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5 All these cities were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides many unwalled rural towns. 6 We completely destroyed them, just as we had done to Sihon, king of Heshbon. In every city, we destroyed the men, women, and children. 7 But we kept all the livestock and the spoils of the cities for ourselves.
