Numbers 21:28-29-35 The Message (MSG)

28-29. Fire once poured out of Heshbon,flames from the city of Sihon;Burning up Ar of Moab,the natives of Arnon’s heights.Doom, Moab!The people of Chemosh, done for!Sons turned out as fugitives, daughters abandoned as captivesto the king of the Amorites, to Sihon.

30. Oh, but we finished them off:Nothing left of Heshbon as far as Dibon;Devastation as far off as Nophah,scorched earth all the way to Medeba.

31-32. Israel moved in and lived in Amorite country. Moses sent men to scout out Jazer. They captured its villages and drove away the Amorites who lived there.

33. Then they turned north on the road to Bashan. Og king of Bashan marched out with his entire army to meet Moses in battle at Edrei.

34. God said to Moses, “Don’t be afraid of him. I’m making a present of him to you, him and all his people and his land. Treat him the same as Sihon king of the Amorites who ruled in Heshbon.”

35. So they attacked him, his sons, and all the people—there was not a single survivor. Israel took the land.
