Judges 11:22

ArnonJabbokJordan

20 But Sihon would not trust Israel to pass through his territory. So he gathered all his people, encamped in Jahaz, and fought with Israel.

21 Then the LORD, the God of Israel, delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, who defeated them. So Israel took possession of all the land of the Amorites who inhabited that country,

seizing all the land from the Arnon to the Jabbok and from the wilderness to the Jordan.

23 Now since the LORD, the God of Israel, has driven out the Amorites from before His people Israel, should you now possess it?

24 Do you not possess whatever your god Chemosh grants you? So also, we possess whatever the LORD our God has granted us.
