The Defeat of King Sihon of Heshbon

(Numbers 21.21-30)

Moses said to Israel:

²⁶ After we had crossed the Arnon and had set up camp in the Kedemoth Desert, I sent messengers to King Sihon of Heshbon, telling him that his nation and ours could be at peace. I said:

²⁷ Please let Israel go across your country. We will walk straight through, without turning off the road.
