24
w And Israel defeated him with the edge of the sword and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the x Jabbok, as far as to the Ammonites, for the border of the Ammonites was strong.
25
And Israel took all these cities, and Israel settled in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages.

He has made his sons fugitives,
and his daughters captives,
to an Amorite king, Sihon.
30
So we overthrew them;
Heshbon, as far as c Dibon, perished;
and we laid waste as far as Nophah;
fire spread as far as d Medeba."
