The city of Heshbon was Sihon’s, king of Amorites, which Sihon fought against the king of Moab, and took all the land that was of his lordship, till to Arnon.
Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes be as [the] cisterns in Heshbon, that be in the gate of the daughter of [the] multitude; thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon, that beholdeth against Damascus.
And full out joying is no more in Moab; they thought evil against Hesh-bon. Come ye, and lose we it from [the] folk. Therefore thou being still, [thou] shalt be stilled, and sword shall follow thee.
Men fleeing from the snare stood in the shadow of Heshbon, for why fire went out of Heshbon, and flame from the midst of Sihon; and [it] devoured a part of Moab, and the top of the sons of noise.
after that he had smitten, or killed, Sihon, the king of Amorites, that dwelled in Heshbon, and Og, the king of Bashan, that dwelled in Ashtaroth, and in Edrei,
and their term was from Aroer, that is in the brink of the strand [or stream] of Arnon, and in the middle valley of the same strand [or stream], all the plain also that leadeth to Medeba,
when Israel dwelled in Heshbon, and in [the] towns thereof, and in Aroer, and in towns thereof, and in all [the] cities beyond Jordan, by three hundred years. Why in so much time assayed ye nothing on this asking again?
