Numbers 21:26-28

Expanded Bible

²⁶Heshbon was the city where Sihon, the Amorite king, lived. In the past he had fought with the king of Moab and had taken all the land from his hand as far as the Arnon.

²⁷That is why the poets say:

“Come to Heshbon
    and rebuild it;
    ·rebuild [establish] Sihon’s city.
²⁸A fire ·began in [^Lwent out from] Heshbon;
    flames came from Sihon’s city.
It destroyed Ar in Moab,
    and it ·burned [or swallowed] the Arnon highlands.
