Numbers 21:24-25

21:24 But the Israelites defeated him in battle and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the Ammonites, for the border of the Ammonites was strongly defended. 21:25 So Israel took all these cities; and Israel settled in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages.

Deuteronomy 2:33-34

2:33 the Lord our God delivered him over to us and we struck him down, along with his sons and everyone else. 2:34 At that time we seized all his cities and put every one of them under divine judgment, including even the women and children; we left no survivors.

tn The Hebrew text has “Israel,” but the verb is plural.

tn Heb “with the edge of the sword.”

tn Heb “its daughters.”

tc The translation follows the Qere or marginal reading; the Kethib (consonantal text) has the singular, “his son.”

tn Heb “all his people.”

tn Heb “every city of men.” This apparently identifies the cities as inhabited.

tn Heb “under the ban” (נַחֲרֵם, nakharem). The verb employed is חָרַם (kharam, usually in the Hiphil) and the associated noun is חֵרֶם (kherem). See J. Naudé, NIDOTTE, 2:276-77, and, for a more thorough discussion, Susan Niditch, War in the Hebrew Bible, 28-77.
