Numbers 21:25-27

Expanded Bible

²⁵Israel captured all the Amorite cities and lived in them, taking Heshbon and all the towns around it. ²⁶Heshbon was the city where Sihon, the Amorite king, lived. In the past he had fought with the king of Moab and had taken all the land from his hand as far as the Arnon.

²⁷That is why the poets say:

“Come to Heshbon
and rebuild it;
·rebuild [establish] Sihon’s city.
