21 The Israelites sent this message to King Sihonof the Amorites:
22 Please let us pass through your territory. We promise to stay away from your fields and vineyards, and we won’t drink any water from your wells. As long as we’re in your land, we’ll stay on the main road.21.22 the main road: See the note at 20.17.
23 But Sihonrefused to let Israel travel through his land. Instead, he called together his entire army and marched into the desert to attack Israel near the town of Jahaz. 24 Israel defeated them and took over the Amorite territory from the Arnon Rivergorge in the south to the Jabbok Rivergorge in the north. Beyond the Jabbokwas the territory of the Ammonites, who were much stronger than Israel.
25 The Israelites settled in the Amorite towns, including the capital city of Heshbonwith its surrounding villages. 26 King Sihonhad ruled from Heshbon, after defeating the Moabitesand taking over their land north of the Arnon Rivergorge. 27 That’s why the Amorites had written this poem about Heshbon:
Come and rebuild Heshbon,
King Sihon’s capital city!
28 Jr 48.45,46.His armies marched out
like fiery flames,
burning down the town of Ar
and destroying21.28 destroying: One ancient translation; Hebrew "the rulers of."the hills
along the Arnon River.
29 You Moabitesare done for!
Your god Chemosh
deserted your people;
they were captured, taken away
by King Sihonthe Amorite.
30 We completely defeated Moab.
The towns of Heshbonand Dibon,

are ruined and gone.21.30 gone: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text of verse 30.
