26 For Heshʹbon was the city of Siʹhon.+ He was the king of the Amʹor·ites,+ and it was he who fought with the king of Moʹab formerly and went taking all his land out of his hand as far as the Arʹnon.+

26 “Then I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedʹe·moth+ to Siʹhon+ the king of Heshʹbon with words of peace,+ saying,

21 and all the cities of the tableland+ and all the royal realm of Siʹhon the king of the Amʹor·ites, who reigned in Heshʹbon,+ and whom Moses struck,+ together with the chieftains of Midʹi·an, Eʹvi and Reʹkem and Zur and Hur and Reʹba,+ the dukes of Siʹhon, who were dwelling in the land.
