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 from his hand as far as the Arnon. 27 Therefore those who speak in [a]proverbs say:

“Come to Heshbon, let it be built;
Let the city of Sihon be repaired.

28 “For (A)fire went out from Heshbon,
A flame from the city of Sihon;
It consumed (B)Ar of Moab,
The lords of the (C)heights of the Arnon.
