And Sehon
would give Israel no licence to pass thorow his country, but
gathered all his people together and went out against Israel into
the wilderness. And he came to Iaheza and fought with Israel. And
Israel smote him with the edge of the sword and conquered his
land, from Arnon unto Iabock: even unto the children of Ammon. For
the borders of the children of Ammon, are strong. And Israel took
all these cities and dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites: in
Hesbon and in all the towns that long thereto. For Hesbon was the
city of Sehon the king of the Amorites which Sehon had fought
before with the king of the Moabites, and had taken all his land
out of his hand, even unto Arnon. Wherefore it is a proverb: go to
Hesbon and let the city of Sehon be built and made ready for there
is a fire gone out of Hesbon and a flame from the city of Sehon
and hath consumed Ar of the Moabites and the men of the hills of
Arnon. Woe be to thee Moab: O people of Chamos ye are forloren.
{undone} His sons are put to flight and his daughters brought
captive unto Sehon king of the Amorites. Their light is out from
Hesbon unto Dibon and we made a wilderness even unto Nopha which
reacheth unto Mediba. And thus Israel dwelt in the land of the
Amorites.
