his daughters as captives of Sihon, the Amorite king.

and his daughters into captivity,

to the king of the Amorites, Sihon.

For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon,

A flame from the city of Sihon:

It hath consumed Ar of Moab,

And the lords of the high places of Arnon.

Woe to thee, Moab!

Thou art undone, O people of Chemosh:

He hath given his sons that escaped,

And his daughters, into captivity

Unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
