23 But Siʹhon did not allow Israel to pass through his territory. Instead, Siʹhon gathered all his people and went out against Israel in the wilderness and came to Jaʹhaz and began fighting with Israel.+ 24 But Israel defeated him with the sword+ and took possession of his land+ from the Arʹnon+ to the Jabʹbok,+ near the Amʹmon·ites, because Jaʹzer+ borders the territory of the Amʹmon·ites.+
