From Aro´er, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even unto Gil´e-ad, there was not one city too strong for us: the Lord our God delivered all unto us:
Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled from Aro´er, which is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and from the middle of the river, and from half Gil´e-ad, even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;
while Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aro´er and her towns, and in all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did ye not recover them within that time?
