Numbers 21:23-25

Good News Translation

²³ But Sihon would not permit the people of Israel to pass through his territory. He gathered his army and went out to Jahaz in the wilderness and attacked the Israelites. ²⁴ But the Israelites killed many of the enemy in battle and occupied their land from the Arnon River north to the Jabbok, that is, to the Ammonites, because the Ammonite border was strongly defended.^{[a] 25} So the people of Israel captured all the Amorite cities, including Heshbon and all the surrounding towns, and settled in them.
