26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and had taken all his land out of his hand, as far as the Arnon. 27 For that reason those who use proverbs say,

“Come to Heshbon! Let it be built!
So let the city of Sihon be established.
28 (A)For a fire spread from Heshbon,
A flame from the town of Sihon;
It devoured (B)Ar of Moab,
The [a](C)dominant [b]heights of the Arnon.
