Numbers 21:21-23

CLV(i) 21 Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorite with words of peace, saying. 22 Let me pass through your land. We shall not turn aside into field or into vineyard. We shall not drink water of any well. By the king's road shall we go until we cross over your boundary. 23 Yet Sihon would not allow Israel to cross over at his boundary. Sihon gathered all his people and went forth to meet Israel toward the wilderness. He came to Jahaz and fought against Israel.
