26 Heshbon was the city of King Sihon of the Amorites. He had fought the former king of Moab and had taken all his land up to the Arnon Valley.

27 This is why the poets say:

“Come to Heshbon! Rebuild it!
    Restore Sihon’s city!
28 Fire came out of Heshbon,
    flames from Sihon’s city.
        They destroyed Ar of Moab,
            the rulers of Arnon’s worship sites.[a]
