New King James Version

Numbers 21:27-35 New King James Version (NKJV)

27. Therefore those who speak in proverbs say:“Come to Heshbon, let it be built;Let the city of Sihon be repaired.

28. “For fire went out from Heshbon,A flame from the city of Sihon;It consumed Ar of Moab,The lords of the heights of the Arnon.

29. Woe to you, Moab!You have perished, O people of Chemosh!He has given his sons as fugitives,And his daughters into captivity,To Sihon king of the Amorites.

30. “But we have shot at them;Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon.Then we laid waste as far as Nophah,Which reaches to Medeba.”

31. Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.

32. Then Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.

33. And they turned and went up by the way to Bashan. So Og king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.

34. Then the Lord said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, with all his people and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.”

35. So they defeated him, his sons, and all his people, until there was no survivor left him; and they took possession of his land.
