30-31. But Sihon refused to let us go across his country, because the Lord made him stubborn and eager to fight us. The Lord told me, “I am going to help you defeat Sihon and take his land, so attack him!”
32. We met Sihon and his army in battle at Jahaz,
33. and the Lord our God helped us defeat them. We killed Sihon, his sons, and everyone else in his army.
34. Then we captured and destroyed every town in Sihon's kingdom, killing everyone,
35. but keeping the livestock and everything else of value.
36. The Lord helped us capture every town from the gorge of the River Arnon north to the boundary of Gilead, including the town of Aroer on the edge of the gorge and the town in the middle of the gorge.
37. However, we stayed away from all the Ammonite towns, both in the hill country and near the River Jabbok, just as the Lord had commanded.
