Numbers 21:30

DibonHeshbonMedebaNophah

28 For a fire went out from Heshbon, a blaze from the city of Sihon. It consumed Ar of Moab, the rulers of Arnon’s heights.

29 Woe to you, O Moab! You are destroyed, O people of Chemosh! He gave up his sons as refugees, and his daughters into captivity to Sihon king of the Amorites.

But we have overthrown them; Heshbon is destroyed as far as Dibon. We demolished them as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba.”

31 So Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.

32 After Moses had sent spies to Jazer, Israel captured its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.
