24 Now then arise and depart, and pass over the valley of Ar; behold, I have delivered into your hands Sihon the king of Heshbon the Amorite, and his land. Begin to inherit it; engage in war with him this day.
25 Begin to put your terror and your fear on the face of all the nations under heaven, who shall be troubled when they have heard your name, and shall be in anguish before you.
26 And I sent ambassadors from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with peaceable words, saying,
27 I will pass through your land; I will go by the road, I will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
28 You shall give me food for money, and I will eat; and you shall give me water for money, and I will drink; I will only go through on my feet:
29 as the sons of Esau did to me, who dwelt in Seir, and the Moabites who dwelt in Ar, until I have passed the Jordan, into the land which the Lord our God gives us.
30 And Sihon king of Heshbon would not allow us to pass by him, because the Lord our God hardened his spirit, and made his heart stubborn, that he might be delivered into your hands, as it is this day.
31 And the Lord said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver before you Sihon the king of Heshbon the Amorite, and his land: begin to inherit his land.
32 And Sihon the king of Heshbon came forth to meet us, he and all his people to war at Jahaz.
33 And the Lord our God delivered him before our face, and we struck him, and his sons, and all his people.
