## Deuteronomy 2:20-22 in Context (Verses 17–25 KJV)
 
 [17 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/2/17) That the LORD spake unto me, saying,
 
 [18 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/2/18) Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:
 
 [19 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/2/19) And *when* thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon *any* possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot *for* a possession.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/2/20) (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;*
 
 [21 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/2/21) A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:
 
 [22 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/2/22) As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:
 
 [23 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/2/23) And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, *even* unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
 
 [24 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/2/24) ¶ Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess *it*, and contend with him in battle.*
 
 [25 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/2/25) This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations *that are* under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.
