30. “But King Sihon would not let us pass through his country. The Lord your God had made him stubborn and rebellious, so that we could defeat him and take his territory, which we still occupy.
31. “Then the Lord said to me, ‘Look, I have made King Sihon and his land helpless before you; take his land and occupy it.’
32. Sihon came out with all his men to fight us near the town of Jahaz,
33. but the Lord our God put him in our power, and we killed him, his sons, and all his men.
34. At the same time we captured and destroyed every town, and put everyone to death, men, women, and children. We left no survivors.
35. We took the livestock and plundered the towns.
36. The Lord our God let us capture all the towns from Aroer, on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city in the middle of that valley, all the way to Gilead. No town had walls too strong for us.
37. But we did not go near the territory of the Ammonites or to the banks of the River Jabbok or to the towns of the hill country or to any other place where the Lord our God had commanded us not to go.
