Deuteronomy 1:44-46
New English Translation
44 The Amorite inhabitants of that area[a] confronted[b] you and chased you like a swarm of bees, striking you down from Seir as far as Hormah.[c] 45 Then you came back and wept before the Lord, but he[d] paid no attention to you whatsoever.[e] 46 Therefore, you remained at Kadesh for a long time—indeed, for the full time.[f]
