Numbers 21:21-24

King Sihon Defeated

21 Then a Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, 22  b “Let me pass through your land. We will not turn aside into field or vineyard. We will not drink the water of a well. We will go by the King’s Highway until we have passed through your territory.” 23  c But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory. He gathered all his people together and went out against Israel to the wilderness and d came to Jahaz and fought against Israel. 24  e And Israel defeated him with the edge of the sword and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the f Jabbok, as far as to the Ammonites, for the border of the Ammonites was strong.
