## Numbers 21:24-26 in Context (Verses 21–29 KJV)
 
 [21 ](/kjv/numbers/21/21) ¶ And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
 
 [22 ](/kjv/numbers/21/22) Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink *of* the waters of the well: *but* we will go along by the king’s *high* way, until we be past thy borders.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/numbers/21/23) And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/numbers/21/24) And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon *was* strong.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/numbers/21/25) And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.*
 
 [26 ](/kjv/numbers/21/26) For Heshbon *was* the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/numbers/21/27) Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
 
 [28 ](/kjv/numbers/21/28) For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, *and* the lords of the high places of Arnon.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/numbers/21/29) Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
