Numbers 21:26-28

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁶ For Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and taken all his land out of his hand, as far as [the river] Arnon.

²⁷ That is why those who sing ballads say, Come to Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and established.

²⁸ For fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon; it has devoured Ar of Moab and the lords of the heights of the Arnon.
