14. Therefore, it is said in the Book of the Wars of Adonai, “...Vaheb in Suphah and the wadis of the Arnon,
15. and the slope of the wadis that leads to the site of Ar and lie along the border of Moab—”
16. And from there—on to Beer. This is the well where Adonai said to Moses, “Gather the people and I will give them water.”
17. Then Israel sang this song, “Spring up, O well! Sing about it!”
18. The well the princes dug, that the nobles of the people sank with their scepter and their staffs.” From the wilderness they went on to Mattanah.
19. From Mattanah they went on to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
20. and from Bamoth to the valley in the field of Moab where the peak of Pisgah overlooks the wasteland.
21. Israel sent messengers to King Sihon of the Amorites saying,
22. “Permit us to pass through your land. We will not turn aside into field or vineyard nor drink water from the wells. We will travel on the king’s highway until we will have passed through your territory.”
23. But Sihon would not let Israel pass through his territory. Instead, Sihon called out his entire army and marched out into the desert to oppose Israel. When he came to Jahaz, he fought against Israel.
24. But Israel struck him by the sword’s edge and conquered his land from Arnon to Jabbok as far as the Ammonites, because the border of the sons of Ammon was fortified.
