Contextual Overview

24 ‘Now rise up and go on your way. Pass through the valley of Arnon. See, I have given you Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to take it for your own, and fight with him in battle. 25 This day I will begin to put much fear of you upon the nations everywhere under the heavens. When they hear about you, they will shake with fear and be filled with trouble because of you.' 26 "So I sent men carrying news from the desert of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace. They said, 27 ‘Let me pass through your land. I will travel only on the road. I will not turn to the right or to the left. 28 You will sell me food for money so I may eat, and give me water for money so I may drink. Only let me pass through on foot 29 as the sons of Esau did for us in Seir and the Moabites in Ar. Do this until I cross over the Jordan into the land the Lord our God is giving us.' 30 But Sihon king of Heshbon was not willing to let us pass through his land. For the Lord your God made his spirit and heart hard, so He might give him into your hand, as he is today. 31 Then the Lord said to me, ‘See, I have begun to give Sihon and his land to you. Begin to take it for your own, so you may live in it.' 32 "Then Sihon and all his people came out to meet us in battle at Jahaz. 33 The Lord our God gave him to us. We won the fight against him, his sons and all his people.
