19 And Israel (he wrestles with God) sent messengers to Sihon (warrior) king of the Amorites (sayers), who ruled in Heshbon (stronghold), and said to him, ‘Please let us pass through your land into our own place.’ 20 But Sihon (warrior) would not trust Israel (he wrestles with God) to pass through his territory. So he gathered all his people, encamped in Jahaz (trodden down), and fought with Israel. 21 Then the LORD, the God {YHWH Elohe} of Israel (he wrestles with God), delivered Sihon (warrior) and all his people into the hand of Israel, who defeated them. So Israel took possession of all the land of the Amorites (sayers) who inhabited that country, 22 seizing all the land (a sayer) from the Arnon (rushing stream) to the Jabbok (emptying) and from the wilderness to the Jordan (flowing down).
