Joshua 10:1-12
Now King Adoni-zedek of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured Ai and completely destroyed it, treating Ai and its king as he had Jericho and its king, and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living among them.So Adoni-zedek and his people were greatly alarmed because Gibeon was a large city like one of the royal cities; it was larger than Ai, and all its men were warriors.Therefore King Adoni-zedek of Jerusalem sent word to King Hoham of Hebron, King Piram of Jarmuth, King Japhia of Lachish, and King Debir of Eglon, saying,“ Come up and help me. We will attack Gibeon, because they have made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”So the five Amorite kings— the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon— joined forces, advanced with all their armies, besieged Gibeon, and fought against it.Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal:“ Don’t give up on your servants. Come quickly and save us! Help us, for all the Amorite kings living in the hill country have joined forces against us.”So Joshua and all his troops, including all his best soldiers, came from Gilgal.The LORD said to Joshua,“ Do not be afraid of them, for I have handed them over to you. Not one of them will be able to stand against you.”So Joshua caught them by surprise, after marching all night from Gilgal.The LORD threw them into confusion before Israel. He defeated them in a great slaughter at Gibeon, chased them through the ascent of Beth-horon, and struck them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah.As they fled before Israel, the LORD threw large hailstones on them from the sky along the descent of Beth-horon all the way to Azekah, and they died. More of them died from the hail than the Israelites killed with the sword.On the day the LORD gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke to the LORD in the presence of Israel:“ Sun, stand still over Gibeon, and moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”

Deuteronomy 2:30-3:11
But King Sihon of Heshbon would not let us travel through his land, for the LORD your God had made his spirit stubborn and his heart obstinate in order to hand him over to you, as has now taken place.“ Then the LORD said to me,‘ See, I have begun to give Sihon and his land to you. Begin to take possession of it.’So Sihon and his whole army came out against us for battle at Jahaz.The LORD our God handed him over to us, and we defeated him, his sons, and his whole army.At that time we captured all his cities and completely destroyed the people of every city, including the women and children. We left no survivors.We took only the livestock and the spoil from the cities we captured as plunder for ourselves.There was no city that was inaccessible to us, from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the valley, even as far as Gilead. The LORD our God gave everything to us.But you did not go near the Ammonites’ land, all along the bank of the Jabbok River, the cities of the hill country, or any place that the LORD our God had forbidden.“ Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan, and King Og of Bashan came out against us with his whole army to do battle at Edrei.But the LORD said to me,‘ Do not fear him, for I have handed him over to you along with his whole army and his land. Do to him as you did to King Sihon of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.’So the LORD our God also handed over King Og of Bashan and his whole army to us. We struck him until there was no survivor left.We captured all his cities at that time. There wasn’t a city that we didn’t take from them: sixty cities, the entire region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.All these were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides a large number of rural villages.We completely destroyed them, as we had done to King Sihon of Heshbon, destroying the men, women, and children of every city.But we took all the livestock and the spoil from the cities as plunder for ourselves.“ At that time we took the land from the two Amorite kings across the Jordan, from the Arnon Valley as far as Mount Hermon,which the Sidonians call Sirion, but the Amorites call Senir,all the cities of the plateau, Gilead, and Bashan as far as Salecah and Edrei, cities of Og’s kingdom in Bashan.( Only King Og of Bashan was left of the remnant of the Rephaim. His bed was made of iron. Isn’t it in Rabbah of the Ammonites? It is 13½ feet long and 6 feet wide by a standard measure.)

Numbers 21:21-35
Israel sent messengers to say to King Sihon of the Amorites,“ Let us travel through your land. We won’t go into the fields or vineyards. We won’t drink any well water. We will travel the King’s Highway until we have traveled through your territory.”But Sihon would not let Israel travel through his territory. Instead, he gathered his whole army and went out to confront Israel in the wilderness. When he came to Jahaz, he fought against Israel.Israel struck him with the sword and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, but only up to the Ammonite border, because it was fortified.Israel took all the cities and lived in all these Amorite cities, including Heshbon and all its surrounding villages.Heshbon was the city of King Sihon of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and had taken control of all his land as far as the Arnon.Therefore the poets say: Come to Heshbon, let it be rebuilt; let the city of Sihon be restored.For fire came out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It consumed Ar of Moab, the citizens of Arnon’s heights.Woe to you, Moab! You have been destroyed, people of Chemosh! He gave up his sons as refugees, and his daughters into captivity to Sihon the Amorite king.We threw them down; Heshbon has been destroyed as far as Dibon. We caused desolation as far as Nophah, which reaches as far as Medeba.So Israel lived in the Amorites’ land.After Moses sent spies to Jazer, Israel captured its surrounding villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.Then they turned and went up the road to Bashan, and King Og of Bashan came out against them with his whole army to do battle at Edrei.But the LORD said to Moses,“ Do not fear him, for I have handed him over to you along with his whole army and his land. Do to him as you did to King Sihon of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.”So they struck him, his sons, and his whole army until no one was left, and they took possession of his land.
