30. And Sihon, the king of Heshbon, was not willing to grant passage to us. For the Lord your God had hardened his spirit, and had fastened his heart, so that he would be delivered into your hands, just as you now see.
31. And the Lord said to me: 'Behold, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his land to you. Begin to possess it.'
32. And Sihon went out to meet us with all his people, to battle at Jahaz.
33. And the Lord our God delivered him to us. And we struck him down, with his sons and all his people.
34. And we seized all his cities at that time, putting to death their inhabitants: men as well as women and children. We left nothing of them,
35. except the cattle, which went to the share of those who plundered them. And we seized the spoils of the cities,
36. from Aroer, which is above the bank of the torrent Arnon, a town which is situated in a valley, all the way to Gilead. There was not a village or city which escaped from our hands. The Lord our God delivered everything to us,
37. except the land of the sons of Ammon, which we did not approach, and all that is adjacent to the torrent Jabbok, and the cities in the mountains, and all the places which the Lord our God prohibited to us."
