## Judges 11:20 in Context (Verses 17–23 KJV)
 
 [17 ](/kjv/judges/11/17) Then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land: but the king of Edom would not hearken *thereto*. And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab: but he would not *consent:* and Israel abode in Kadesh.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/judges/11/18) Then they went along through the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab: for Arnon *was* the border of Moab.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/judges/11/19) And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land into my place.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/judges/11/20) But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his coast: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/judges/11/21) And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/judges/11/22) And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/judges/11/23) So now the LORD God of Israel hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess it?
