26. for Heshbon is a city of Sihon king of the Amorite, and he hath fought against the former king of Moab, and taketh all his land out of his hand, unto Arnon;
27. therefore those using similes say--`Enter ye Heshbon, Let the city of Sihon be built and ready,
28. For fire hath gone out from Heshbon, A flame from the city of Sihon, It hath consumed Ar of Moab, Owners of the high places of Arnon.
29. Woe to thee, O Moab, Thou hast perished, O people of Chemosh, He hath given his sons who escape--Also his daughters--Into captivity, to a king of the Amorite--Sihon!
