12:2 King Sihon of the Amorites who lived3 in Heshbon and ruled from Aroer (on the edge of the Arnon Valley)—including the city in the middle of the valley4 and half of Gilead—all the way to the Jabbok Valley bordering Ammonite territory.
tc The MT reads here, “and the middle of the valley,” but the reading “the city in the middle of valley” can be reconstructed on the basis of Josh 13:9, 16.
