Israel, however, put him to the sword and took over his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, but only as far as the Ammonites, because their border was fortified.

29 Wo to thee, Moab! thou wert destroyed, O people of Chemosh: he gave his sons escaping, and his daughters, into captivity to the king of the Amorites, Sihon. Woe to you, O Moab!

He has given up his sons as fugitives and his daughters as captives to Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 And we shall shoot them; Heshbon was destroyed, even to Dibon, and the women even to Nophah, which is to Medeba.

We have demolished them as far as Nophah, which extends to Medeba.”

34 And Jehovah will say to Moses, Thou shalt not be afraid of him; for into thy hand I gave him, and all his people and his land; and do to him as thou didst to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who will dwell in Heshbon.

And you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.” The LORD said to Moses, “Do not be afraid of him, for I have delivered him into your hands, along with his whole army and his land.
