Lord said to me, “Look! I have already begun to give over Sihon and his land to you. Start right now to take his land as your possession.”

emerged to encounter us in battle at Jahaz,
2:33 the
Lord our God delivered him over to us and we struck him down, along with his sons
and everyone else.

under divine judgment,
including even the women and children; we left no survivors.
