24 Get you vp now, and departe, and go ouer the ryuer Arnon. Beholde, I haue geue Sihon ye kynge of the Amorites at Hesbon into thy hande: go to and conquere, and prouoke him vnto battayll.
25 This daye wyll I begynne, so that all nacios vnder all the heauen, shal feare & drede ye: In so moch yt wha they heare of the, they shal tremble and quake for thy commynge.
26 Then sent I messaungers from ye wyldernesse of the East vnto Sihon the kynge at Hesbon wt peaceble wordes, and caused to saye vnto him:
27 I wil go but thorow yi lode, I wil go alonge by the hye waye, I wil nether turne to the righte hade ner to ye lefte.
28 Thou shalt sell me meate for money, that I maye eate: & water shalt thou sell me for money, that I maye drinke. Onely let me go thorow by fote,
29 as the children of Esau (which dwell at Seir) dyd vnto me: and the Moabites that dwell at Ar: vntyll I be come ouer Iordane, into the londe which the LORDE oure God shal geue vnto vs.
30 But Sihon the kynge at Hesbon wolde not let vs go by him: for the LORDE yi God herdened his mynde, & made his hert tough that he mighte delyuer him in to thy hades, as it is come to passe this daye.
31 And ye LORDE sayde vnto me: Beholde, I haue begonne to delyuer Sihon with his londe before the: go to and coquere, and possesse his lode.
32 And Siho came out wt all his people to fight agaynst vs at Iahza.
33 But the LORDE oure God delyuered him in to oure handes, so that we smote him with his children and all his people.
34 Then toke we all his cities at the same tyme, and destroyed vtterly all the cities, men, wemen, and children, and let none remayne:
35 saue the catell, which we caught to oure selues, & the spoyle of the cities that we wanne
