And they said, Nothing. 36 Then he said to them, But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise his knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one. 37 For I say to you, that this which is written must still be accomplished in me, And he was numbered with the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. 38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough. 39 And he came out, and went, as he usually did, to the Mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. 40 And when he was at the place, he said to them, Pray that you do not enter into temptation. 41 And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down, and prayed, 42 Saying, Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but yours, be done.

You are undone, O people of Chemosh: he has given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity to Sihon king of the Amorites. 30 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even to Dibon, and we have laid them waste even to Nophah, which reaches to Medeba. 31 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites. 32 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took its villages, and drove out the Amorites who were there. 33 And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to battle at Edrei. 34 And the LORD said to Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into your hand, and all his people, and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon. 35 So they struck him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
