Numbers 21

²⁵ Israel captured all the cities of the Amorites and occupied them, including Heshbon and all its villages.

²⁶ Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and taken all his land as far as the Arnon.

²⁷ That is why the poets say: “Come to Heshbon, let it be rebuilt; let the city of Sihon be restored.

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.
