26. Because Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and taken all his land out of his hand, to Arnon.
27. Therefore they that speak in proverbs say: “Come into Heshbon; let it be built,and let the city of Sihon be established,
28. because a fire went out of Heshbon,a flame from the city of Sihon;it has devoured Ar of Moaband the masters of the high places of Arnon.
29. Woe to you, Moab!You have perished, O people of Chemosh!He has made his sons fugitives,and his daughters captives,to Sihon king of the Amorites.
30. “We have overthrown them;Heshbon is perished to Dibon,and we have desolated them to Nophah,which reaches to Medeba.”
31. Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
32. Moses sent to spy out Jazer, and they took its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.
