16
So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
17
That the L
ORD
spake unto me, saying,
18
Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this
day:
19
And
when
thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor
meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon
any
possession;
because I have given it unto the children of Lot
for
a possession.
20
(That also was accounted a land
of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
21
A people
great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the L
ORD
destroyed them before them; and they
succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:
22
As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir,
when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead
even unto this day:
23
And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim,
even
unto Azzah, the Caphtorims,
which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
24
Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine
hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess
it,
and contend with him
in battle.
25
This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations
that
are
under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish
because of thee.
26
And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with
words of peace, saying,
27
Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will
neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.
28
Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may
eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;
29
(As the
children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I
shall pass over Jordan into the land which the L
ORD
our God giveth us.
30
But Sihon king of Heshbon
would not let us pass by him: for the L
ORD
thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate,
that he might deliver him into thy hand, as
appeareth
this day.
31
And the L
ORD
said unto me,
Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest
inherit his land.
32
Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
33
And
the L
ORD
our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
34
And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the
little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:
35
Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves,
and the spoil of the cities which we took.
36
From Aroer, which
is
by the brink of the river of Arnon,
and
from
the city that
is
by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the
L
ORD
our God delivered all unto us:
37
Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest
not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok,
nor
unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever
the L
ORD
our God forbad us.
