17. Then sang Israel this song: Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
18. The well, which the princes digged, Which the nobles of the people delved, With the sceptre, and with their staves.
19. and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
20. and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh down upon the desert.
21. And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22. Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king’s highway, until we have passed thy border.
