Living Bible

¹⁸ “Finally they went around Edom and Moab through the wilderness, and traveled along the eastern border until at last they arrived beyond the boundary of Moab at the Arnon River; but they never once crossed into Moab. ¹⁹ Then Israel sent messengers to King Sihon of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and asked permission to cross through his land to get to their destination.

²⁰ “But King Sihon didn’t trust Israel, so he mobilized an army at Jahaz and attacked them.
