²³ But Sihon would not let Israel pass through his territory.^(A) He mustered his entire army and marched out into the wilderness against Israel. When he reached Jahaz,^(B) he fought with Israel.^{(C) 24} Israel, however, put him to the sword^(D) and took over his land^(E) from the Arnon to the Jabbok,^(F) but only as far as the Ammonites,^(G) because their border was fortified. ²⁵ Israel captured all the cities of the Amorites^(H) and occupied them,^(I) including Heshbon^(J) and all its surrounding settlements. ²⁶ Heshbon was the city of Sihon^(K) king of the Amorites,^(L) who had fought against the former king of Moab^(M) and had taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon.^(N)

²⁷ That is why the poets say:

³³ Then they turned and went up along the road toward Bashan^(A),^(B) and Og king of Bashan and his whole army marched out to meet them in battle at Edrei.^(C)

³⁴ The Lord said to Moses, “Do not be afraid of him, for I have delivered him into your hands, along with his whole army and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon.^(D)”

³⁵ So they struck him down, together with his sons and his whole army, leaving them no survivors.^(E) And they took possession of his land.^(F)

³² When Sihon and all his army came out to meet us in battle^(A) at Jahaz, ³³ the Lord our God delivered^(B) him over to us and we struck him down,^(C) together with his sons and his whole army. ³⁴ At that time we took all his towns and completely destroyed^[a](D) them—men, women and children. We left no survivors.

Defeat of Og King of Bashan

3 Next we turned and went up along the road toward Bashan, and Og king of Bashan^(A) with his whole army marched out to meet us in battle at Edrei.^{(B) 2} The Lord said to me, “Do not be afraid^(C) of him, for I have delivered him into your hands, along with his whole army and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon.”

³ So the Lord our God also gave into our hands Og king of Bashan and all his army. We struck them down,^(D) leaving no survivors.^(E)

²¹ They devoted^(A) the city to the Lord and destroyed^(B) with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.
