Deuteronomy 2:30-33 ▼

30 But Sihon, king of Heshbon, refused to let us pass through his land, because the LORD, your God, made him stubborn in mind and obstinate in heart that he might deliver him into your power, as indeed he has now done.

31 Then the LORD said to me, Now that I have already begun to give over to you Sihon and his land, begin to take possession.

32 So Sihon and all his people advanced against us to join battle at Jahaz;

33 but since the LORD, our God, had given him over to us, we defeated him and his sons and all his people.
