Bamidbar 21:26-28

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²⁶ For Chesbon was the city of Sichon Melech HaEmori, who had fought against the former king of Moav, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.

²⁷ Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Cheshbon, let the city of Sichon be built and prepared;

²⁸ For there is a fire gone out of Cheshbon, a flame from the city of Sichon; it hath consumed Ar of Moav, and citizens of the heights of Arnon.
