And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
And he sent the letters to all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,
And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelled in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelled at Astaroth in Edrei:
Let me pass through your land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the left.
And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
Kedemoth with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her suburbs; four cities.
And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, Let us pass, we pray you, through your land into my place.
