Deuteronomy 2:26–33

²⁶And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon the king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying, ²⁷Let me pass through thy land: by the highway alone will I go; I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the left. ²⁸Thou shalt sell me food for money that I may eat; and thou shalt give me water for money that I may drink; I will only pass through on my feet, ²⁹—as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me, —until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which Jehovah our God giveth us. ³⁰But Sihon the king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for Jehovah thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obdurate, that he might give him into thy hand, as it is this day. ³¹And Jehovah said to me, Behold, I begin to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin, take possession, that thou mayest possess his land. ³²And Sihon came out against us for battle, he and all his people, to Jahaz. ³³But Jehovah our God gave him up before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and his whole people.
