Numbers 21:23-25
21:23 But Sihon did not permit Israel to pass through his border; he 1 gathered all his forces 2 together and went out against Israel into the wilderness. When 3 he came to Jahaz, he fought against Israel.
21:24 But the Israelites 4 defeated him in battle 5 and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the Ammonites, for the border of the Ammonites was strongly defended.
21:25 So Israel took all these cities; and Israel settled in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages. 6
