CHAPTER 12
Now these are
the kings
of the land
whom the Israelites
struck down
and whose
lands
they took
beyond
the Jordan
to the east,
from the Arnon
Valley
to
Mount
Hermon,
including all
the Arabah
eastward:
Sihon
king
of the Amorites,
who lived
in Heshbon.
He ruled
from Aroer
on
the rim
of the Arnon
Valley,
along the middle
of the valley,
up to
the Jabbok
River
(the border
of the
Ammonites),
that is, half
of Gilead,
as well as the Arabah
east
of the Sea
of Chinnereth
to
the Sea
of the Arabah
(that is, the Salt Sea),
eastward
through
Beth-jeshimoth
and southward
below
the slopes
of Pisgah.
He ruled
over Mount
Hermon,
Salecah,
all
of Bashan
up to
the border
of the Geshurites
and Maacathites,
and half
of Gilead
to the border
of Sihon
king
of Heshbon.
Moses,
the servant
of the LORD,
and the Israelites
had struck them down
and
given
their land as an inheritance
to the Reubenites,
the Gadites,
and the half-tribe
of Manasseh.
And these are
the kings
of the land
that
Joshua
and the Israelites
conquered
beyond
the Jordan
to the west,
from Baal-gad
in the Valley
of Lebanon
to
Mount
Halak,
which rises
toward Seir.
(Joshua
gave
their land as an inheritance
to the tribes
of Israel
according to their allotments,
the hill country,
the foothills,
the Arabah,
the slopes,
the wilderness,
and the Negev—
the lands of the Hittites,
Amorites,
Canaanites,
Perizzites,
Hivites,
and Jebusites):
