21 Then the people of Israel sent messengers to the Amorite king Sihonto say: 22 "Let us pass through your land. We and our cattle will not leave the road and go into your fields or vineyards, and we will not drink water from your wells; we will stay on the main road21.22: main road; or King’s Highway.until we are out of your territory." 23 But Sihonwould not permit the people of Israel to pass through his territory. He gathered his army and went out to Jahazin the wilderness and attacked the Israelites. 24 But the Israelites killed many of the enemy in battle and occupied their land from the Arnon Rivernorth to the Jabbok, that is, to the Ammonites, because the Ammoniteborder was strongly defended.21.24: because … strongly defended; some ancient translations as far as Jazer on the Ammonite border.25 So the people of Israel captured all the Amorite cities, including Heshbonand all the surrounding towns, and settled in them. 26 Heshbonwas the capital city of the Amorite king Sihon, who had fought against the former king of Moaband had captured all his land as far as the Arnon River. 27 That is why the poets sing,
"Come to Heshbon, to King Sihon’s city!
We want to see it rebuilt and restored.
28 Jr 48.45,46Once from this city of Heshbon
Sihon’s army went forth like a fire;
It destroyed the city of Arin Moab
And devoured21.28: One ancient translation devoured; Hebrew the lords of.the hills of the upper Arnon.
29 How terrible for you, people of Moab!
You worshipers of Chemosh are brought to ruin!
Your god let the men become refugees,
And the women became captives of the Amorite king.
30 But now their descendants are destroyed,
All the way from Heshbonto Dibon,
From Nashim to Nophah, near Medeba."21.30: Verse 30 in Hebrew is unclear.
