For I will not give thee of
the land of the children of Ammon to possess, because I have given
it unto the children of Loth to possess. That also was taken for a
land of giants and giants dwelt therein in old time, and the
Ammonites called them Zamzumims. A people that was great, many and
tall, as the Enakims. But the LORD destroyed them before the
Ammonites, and they cast them out and they dwelt there in their
stead: as he did for the children of Esau which dwell in Seir:
even as he destroyed the Horims before them, and they cast them
out and dwell in their stead unto this day. And the Avims which
dwelt in Hazarim even unto Aza, the Caphthorims which came out of
Caphthor destroyed them and dwelt in their rooms. Rise up, take
your journey and go over the river Arnon. Behold, I have given
into thy hand Sehon the Amorite king of Hesbon, and his land. Go
to and conquer and provoke him to battle. This day I will begin to
send the fear and dread of thee upon all nations that are under
all ports of heaven: so that when they hear speak of thee, they
shall tremble and quake for fear of thee. Then I sent messengers
out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Hesbon, with
words of peace saying: Let me go thorow thy land.
