26. For Chesbon was the city of Sichon Melech HaEmori, who had fought against the former king of Moav, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.
27. Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Cheshbon, let the city of Sichon be built and prepared;
28. For there is a fire gone out of Cheshbon, a flame from the city of Sichon; it hath consumed Ar of Moav, and citizens of the heights of Arnon.
29. Woe to thee, Moav! Thou art undone, O people of Kemosh; he hath given his banim as fugitives, and his banot, captives unto Sichon Melech Emori.
30. Down they have been cast; Chesbon is perished even unto Divon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophach, which reacheth unto Meidva.
31. Thus Yisroel dwelt in Eretz HaEmori.
32. And Moshe sent to spy out Yazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out HaEmori that were there.
33. And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan; and Og Melech HaBashan went out against them, he, and all his army, to the battle at Edrei.
34. And Hashem said unto Moshe, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, all his army, his land; thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sichon Melech HaEmori, which dwelt at Chesbon.
35. So they struck him down, and his banim, and all his army, until there was none alive left to him: and they possessed his land.
