Judges 11:19-21

11:19 Israel sent messengers to King Sihon, the Amorite king who ruled in Heshbon, and said to him, “Please allow us to pass through your land to our land.” ¹  11:20 But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory. He ²  assembled his whole army, ³  camped in Jahaz, and fought with Israel. 11:21 The Lord God of Israel handed Sihon and his whole army over to Israel and they defeated them. Israel took ⁴  all the land of the Amorites who lived in that land.

[11:19]  ¹ tn Heb “to my place.”

[11:20]  ² tn Heb “Sihon.” The proper name (“Sihon”) has been replaced in the translation by the pronoun (“he”) because of English style; a repetition of the proper name here would be redundant in English.

[11:20]  ³ tn Heb “all his people” (also in the following verse).

[11:21]  ⁴ tn That is, took as its own possession.
