Dommerne 11,20

SihonJahaz

18 Deretter reiste de gjennom ørkenen, forbi Edom og Moab, og kom til østsiden av Moab, hvor de slo leir på den andre siden av Arnon. De gikk ikke inn i Moabs land, for Arnon var grensen.

19 Israel sendte budbringere til Sihon, amorittenes konge, herskeren over Hesjbon, og sa: ‘La oss få passere gjennom ditt land til vårt sted.’

Men Sihon stolte ikke på Israel for å passere gjennom sitt territorium. Han samlet alle sine tropper, slo leir ved Jahas, og kjempet mot Israel.

21 Herren, Israels Gud, overgav Sihon og hele hans folk i Israels hender, og de beseiret dem. Israel tok i besittelse hele landet til amorittene som bodde i den regionen.

22 De erobret hele området fra Arnon til Jabbok og fra ørkenen til Jordan.
