Deuteronomy 1 — Context

This I said to you, but you gave no attention and went against the orders of the Lord, and in your pride went up into the hill-country.

And the Amorites who were in the hill-country came out against you and put you to flight, rushing after you like bees, and overcame you in Seir, driving you even as far as Hormah.

And you came back, weeping before the Lord; but the Lord gave no attention to your cries and did not give ear to you.

So you were kept waiting in Kadesh for a long time.
