1 Now these are the kings of the land whom the Israelites (God prevails) struck down and whose lands they took beyond the Jordan (flowing down) to the east, from the Arnon (rushing stream) Valley to Mount Hermon (a sanctuary), including all the Arabah eastward: 2 Sihon (warrior) king of the Amorites (sayers), who lived in Heshbon (stronghold). He ruled from Aroer (ruins) on the rim of the Arnon (rushing stream) Valley, along the middle of the valley, up to the Jabbok (emptying) River (the border of the Ammonites (tribal)), that is, half of Gilead (rocky region), 3 as well as the Arabah east of the Sea of Chinnereth (the Sea of Galilee) to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea (the Dead Sea) eastward through Beth-jeshimoth (house of the desolation), and southward below the slopes of Pisgah (cleft).
