New King James Version

Deuteronomy 2:30-37 New King James Version (NKJV)

30. “But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass through, for the Lord your God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that He might deliver him into your hand, as it is this day.

31. “And the Lord said to me, ‘See, I have begun to give Sihon and his land over to you. Begin to possess it, that you may inherit his land.’

32. Then Sihon and all his people came out against us to fight at Jahaz.

33. And the Lord our God delivered him over to us; so we defeated him, his sons, and all his people.

34. We took all his cities at that time, and we utterly destroyed the men, women, and little ones of every city; we left none remaining.

35. We took only the livestock as plunder for ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we took.

36. From Aroer, which is on the bank of the River Arnon, and from the city that is in the ravine, as far as Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us; the Lord our God delivered all to us.

37. Only you did not go near the land of the people of Ammon—anywhere along the River Jabbok, or to the cities of the mountains, or wherever the Lord our God had forbidden us.
