Deuteronomy 2:33

Verse 33 of 37. The 2nd of 34 chapters in Deuteronomy, in The Law.

29as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me, until I pass over the Jordan into the land which the LORD our God gives us.”

30But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him, for the LORD your God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as it is today.

31The LORD said to me, “Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before you. Begin to possess, that you may inherit his land.”

32Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.

33The LORD our God delivered him up before us; and we struck him, his sons, and all his people.

34We took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones. We left no one remaining.

35Only the livestock we took for plunder for ourselves, with the plunder of the cities which we had taken.

36From Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us. The LORD our God delivered up all before us.

37Only to the land of the children of Ammon you didn’t come near: all the banks of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill country, and wherever the LORD our God forbade us.
