13 H4428 And the king H1121 of the children H5983 of Ammon H559 answered [H8799] H4397 unto the messengers H3316 of Jephthah H3478 , Because Israel H3947 took away [H8804] H776 my land H5927 , when they came up [H8800] H4714 out of Egypt H769 , from Arnon H2999 even unto Jabbok H3383 , and unto Jordan H7725 : now therefore restore those lands again [H8685] H7965 peaceably.

14 H3316 And Jephthah H7971 sent [H8799] H4397 messengers H3254 again [H8686] H4428 unto the king H1121 of the children H5983 of Ammon:

15 H559 And said [H8799] H559 unto him, Thus saith [H8804] H3316 Jephthah H3478 , Israel H3947 took not away [H8804] H776 the land H4124 of Moab H776 , nor the land H1121 of the children H5983 of Ammon:

16 H3478 But when Israel H5927 came up [H8800] H4714 from Egypt H3212 , and walked [H8799] H4057 through the wilderness H5488 unto the Red H3220 sea H935 , and came [H8799] H6946 to Kadesh;

17 H3478 Then Israel H7971 sent [H8799] H4397 messengers H4428 unto the king H123 of Edom H559 , saying [H8800] H5674 , Let me, I pray thee, pass through [H8799] H776 thy land H4428 : but the king H123 of Edom H8085 would not hearken [H8804] H7971 thereto . And in like manner they sent [H8804] H4428 unto the king H4124 of Moab H14 : but he would [H8804] H3478 not consent : and Israel H3427 abode [H8799] H6946 in Kadesh.

18 H3212 Then they went along [H8799] H4057 through the wilderness H5437 , and compassed [H8799] H776 the land H123 of Edom H776 , and the land H4124 of Moab H935 , and came [H8799] H4217 by the east side H8121 H776 of the land H4124 of Moab H2583 , and pitched [H8799] H5676 on the other side H769 of Arnon H935 , but came [H8804] H1366 not within the border H4124 of Moab H769 : for Arnon H1366 was the border H4124 of Moab.

19 H3478 And Israel H7971 sent [H8799] H4397 messengers H5511 unto Sihon H4428 king H567 of the Amorites H4428 , the king H2809 of Heshbon H3478 ; and Israel H559 said [H8799] H5674 unto him, Let us pass [H8799] H776 , we pray thee, through thy land H5704 into H4725 my place.

20 H5511 But Sihon H539 trusted [H8689] H3478 not Israel H5674 to pass [H8800] H1366 through his coast H5511 : but Sihon H622 gathered H5971 all his people H622 together [H8799] H2583 , and pitched [H8799] H3096 in Jahaz H3898 , and fought [H8735] H3478 against Israel.

21 H3068 And the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H5414 delivered [H8799] H5511 Sihon H5971 and all his people H3027 into the hand H3478 of Israel H5221 , and they smote [H8686] H3478 them: so Israel H3423 possessed [H8799] H776 all the land H567 of the Amorites H3427 , the inhabitants [H8802] H776 of that country.

22 H3423 And they possessed [H8799] H1366 all the coasts H567 of the Amorites H769 , from Arnon H2999 even unto Jabbok H4057 , and from the wilderness H3383 even unto Jordan.

23 H3068 So now the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H3423 hath dispossessed [H8689] H567 the Amorites H6440 from before H5971 his people H3478 Israel H3423 , and shouldest thou possess [H8799] it?

24 H3423 Wilt not thou possess [H8799] H3645 that which Chemosh H430 thy god H3423 giveth thee to possess [H8686] H3068 ? So whomsoever the LORD H430 our God H3423 shall drive out [H8689] H6440 from before H3423 us, them will we possess [H8799] .

25 H2896 And now art thou any thing better H1111 than Balak H1121 the son H6834 of Zippor H4428 , king H4124 of Moab H7378 ? did he ever [H8800] H7378 strive [H8804] H3478 against Israel H3898 , or did he ever [H8736] H3898 fight [H8738] against them,

26 H3478 While Israel H3427 dwelt [H8800] H2809 in Heshbon H1323 and her towns H6177 , and in Aroer H1323 and her towns H5892 , and in all the cities H3027 that be along by the coasts H769 of Arnon H7969 , three H3967 hundred H8141 years H5337 ? why therefore did ye not recover [H8689] H6256 them within that time?

27 H2398 Wherefore I have not sinned [H8804] H6213 against thee, but thou doest [H8802] H853 H7451 me wrong H3898 to war [H8736] H3068 against me: the LORD H8199 the Judge [H8802] H8199 be judge [H8799] H3117 this day H1121 between the children H3478 of Israel H1121 and the children H5983 of Ammon.
