Defeat of Sihon King of Heshbon

²⁴ “Set out now and cross the Arnon Gorge.^(A) See, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite,^(B) king of Heshbon, and his country. Begin to take possession of it and engage^(C) him in battle.

³⁴ At that time we took all his towns and completely destroyed^[a](A) them—men, women and children. We left no survivors.

³⁵ But the livestock^(A) and the plunder^(B) from the towns we had captured we carried off for ourselves.
