Numbers 21:21-23

Revised Geneva Translation

²¹ Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,

²² “Let me go through your land. We will not turn aside into the fields, nor into the vineyards, nor drink of the waters of the wells. We will go by the king’s way until we are past your country.”

²³ But Sihon gave Israel no license to pass through his country. Rather, Sihon assembled all his people and went out against Israel into the wilderness. And he came to Jahaz and fought against Israel.
