Bible in Basic English

24

Get up now, and go on your journey, crossing over the valley of the Arnon: see, I have given into your hands Sihon, the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and all his land: go forward to make it yours, and make war on him,

25

From now on I will put the fear of you in all peoples under heaven, who, hearing of you, will be shaking with fear and grief of heart because of you.

26

Then from the waste land of Kedemoth I sent representatives to Sihon, king of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying,

27

Let me go through your land: I will keep to the highway, not turning to the right or to the left;

28

Let me have food, at a price, for my needs, and water for drinking: only let me go through on foot;

29

As the children of Esau did for me in Seir and the Moabites in Ar; till I have gone over Jordan into the land which the Lord our God is giving us.

30

But Sihon, king of Heshbon, would not let us go through; for the Lord your God made his spirit hard and his heart strong, so that he might give him up into your hands as at this day.

31

And the Lord said to me, See, from now on I have given Sihon and his land into your hands: go forward now to take his land and make it yours.

32

Then Sihon came out against us with all his people, to make an attack on us at Jahaz.

33

And the Lord our God gave him into our hands; and we overcame him and his sons and all his people.

34

At that time we took all his towns, and gave them over to complete destruction, together with men, women, and children; we had no mercy on any:

35

Only the cattle we took for ourselves, with the goods from the towns we had taken.

36

From Aroer on the edge of the valley of the Arnon and from the town in the valley as far as Gilead, no town was strong enough to keep us out; the Lord our God gave them all into our hands:

37

But you did not go near the land of the children of Ammon, that is, all the side of the river Jabbok or the towns of the hill-country, wherever the Lord our God had said we were not to go.
