Numbers 21:26-28

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶ Hesebon was the city of Sehon the king of the Amorrhites, who fought against the king of Moab: and took all the land, that had been of his dominions, as far as the Arnon.

²⁷ Therefore it is said in the proverb: Come into Hesebon, let the city of Sehon be built and set up:

²⁸ A fire is gone out of Hesebon, a flame from the city of Sehon, and hath consumed Ar of the Moabites, and the inhabitants of the high places of the Arnon.
